Audre Lorde’s writing on exoticism is directly tied to our work because of the way certain bodies get other, reinforcing oppressive structures.  This is especially prevelant in the political cartoons and in the newspapers. The language used in newspapers portrays Chavez as violent and dangerous. This get reinforced in the political cartoons when Chavez is depicted as a dangerous militant leader and even as an animal, furthering showing this otherness and ability to make people see Chavez as dangerous.
