Identity has been a contested issue in Kuwait in recent years. Kuwaitis construct their identities in relation to each other based on several factors including religion, sect, ethnicity, countries of origin and even places of residency. In relying on one or more of these factors, some within society build barriers to exclude “others” from being true citizens or true Kuwaitis. Even though this phenomenon has intensified during the last 15 years, this paper argues that the inclusion and exclusion of Kuwaiti citizens is not new. This practice has been within society for a relatively long time. This paper will take cartoons appeared in al-Tali’a, a weekly newspaper that was the platform of Arab Nationalists in Kuwait, as a case study to examine that. It will review issues of al-Tali’a in the period between 1962 to 1968. It deals with cartoons as “a form of ‘visual opinion discourse’” (Abraham, 2009). Therefore, it will analyze al-Tali’a’s cartoons by paying attention to the local context in Kuwait as well as the regional developments. The paper will qualitatively analyze the content of the cartoons.
