Description
Reassessing the meanings of "black humor" and "dark satire", this book illustrates how black comedians, writers, and artists have deftly deployed various modes of comedic "conjuring"--The absurd, the grotesque, and the strategic expression of racial stereotypes- to redress not only the past injustices of slavery and racism in America but also their legacy in the present.--[book cover]
