description: Dogs Playing Cards begins with a survey of Western civilization that expands the traditional borders of the subject by including voices of women and other heretofore silenced groups. Rather than relying only on written history, this survey uses the artistic record as its primary database. Following the survey, oppression in its contemporary forms is examined as it manifests itself in art, capitalism, censorship, education, race, sex, and violence.
