The
Golliwog (originally spelled Golliwogg) is the least
known of the major anti-Black caricatures in the United
States. Golliwogs are grotesque creatures,1 with very
dark, often jet black skin, large white-rimmed eyes,
red or white clown lips, and wild, frizzy hair.2 Typically,
it's a male dressed in a jacket, trousers, bow tie,
and stand-up collar in a combination of red, white,
blue, and occasionally yellow colors. The golliwog image,
popular in England and other European countries, is
found on a variety of items, including postcards, jam
jars, paperweights, brooches, wallets, perfume bottles,
wooden puzzles, sheet music, wall paper, pottery, jewelry,
greeting cards, clocks, and dolls. For the past four
decades Europeans have debated whether the Golliwog
is a lovable icon or a racist symbol.
