This book examines the types, discourse modes, and effects of sex
jokes in different African contexts, in a range of different
cultural forms, from the internet to music, books, films,
advertising, and images, thus filling the existing void in
literature on the subject. Arguing that sex jokes are used to
perform a number of functions in African society, the contributors
show how they can be used to perpetuate violence against women,
construct spaces, resist oppression, create conformity, build
affiliations, and subvert morality. They consider jokes from Egypt,
Ghana, Nigeria, Kenya, and Zambia in a range of forms including
queer sex jokes, rape jokes, performed sex jokes, gendered humour,
and resistance sex humour. The book places particular emphasis on
the impact of new media platforms and the anonymity they provide.
Providing an important analysis of this tabooed but culturally
important facet of everyday life, this book will be of interest to
scholars of African culture and society from a range of
disciplines, including anthropology, gender studies, literary
studies, and sociology.
