Why should Black Gold be considered anti-Zionist? There's no single mention of Israel and Jews. David.Monniaux 14:39, 20 Sep 2003 (UTC)
It' written :
"The early and unfinished version..."
It depends which version you consider in the early version the soldiers were British and the terrorists were from the Irgoun it has been reworked later. Many Tintin album were reworked for political correctness : In fact this text wasn't initially written as an article it was a comment on Talk:Tintin because I found simplistic the analysis of the ideological aspects of Tintin. Thus I didn't care to be very precise or NPOV. Someone pasted my comment in an article with minor edits.
In fact I don't want to write a full article alone on such a subject because my skills in English are somewhat limited.
I've seen you've edited Tintin in America. It's worth to notice that this album was written in the 1930's and in late editions the race of some characters has changed. The whole album can be analyzed as anti-American. In fact in the first 3 Tintins Hergé examine his dominant political references :
1 The communism (Tintin au pays des Soviets)
2 The catholicism and the Belgian colonialism (Tintin au Congo)
3 The USA (Tintin en Amerique)
In fact Hergé is only positive about the catholic/colonialist ideology. The ideology of the newspaper were he worked.

I've found this :
Hergé aura bien des ennuis à la libération. Son retour au journal Le Soir contrôlé par les allemands ne fut pas apprécié par tout le monde. Sur ces années troubles Hergé a exprimé des regrets dans une interview en 1973 : "Je conviens que moi aussi j'ai cru que l'avenir de l'Occident pouvait dépendre de l'Ordre nouveau. Pour beaucoup, la démocratie s'était montrée décevante, et l'Ordre nouveau apportait un nouvel espoir. Au vu de tout ce qui s'est passé, c'était naturellement une grossière erreur d'avoir pu croire un instant à l'Ordre nouveau."
I need hep for translation. Ericd 00:43, 23 Sep 2003 (UTC)
I've gone over the article, correcting English errors and balancing some of the statements. The Hergé citations are all from the Numa Sadoul book now cited-- definitely the place to look for anyone interested in Hergé's ideology (or ideologies, since it's clear that he rejected much of the narrow right-wing environment of his youth), since Hergé responds explicitly to charges of racism and sexism.
Ericd, the above text says this: "Hergé would have many troubles after Liberation. His return to the newspaper Le soir while it was under German control was not appreciated by everyone. On these difficult years Hergé expressed his regrets in an 1973 interview: "I recognize that I myself beleived that the future of the West could depend on the New Order. For many, democracy had proved a disappointment, and the New Order brought new hope. In light of everything which has happened, it is of course a huge error to have believed for an instant in the New Order." Zompist 04:42, 16 August 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Sexism
"Also, in contrast to such arguments against Hergé, there are notable, however rare, examples of realistic and deep female characters at certain junctions within the series." ~ Can anybody provide any examples of this? Admittedly I haven't read all the stories, but I can't think of any, and this seems like quite an assertion to make, given the tone of the rest of this section. Branfish 22:27, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
