This book engages anthropologically with humor as political
expression. It reveals how humor is in many instances central to
human efforts to cope with political struggle and significant to
understanding power dynamics in socio-political life. The chapters
examine humor and joking activities across a diverse range of
geographic areas and cultural contexts. The contributors consider
humor as it is constituted in political anxiety, aggression and
power, and when it becomes a tool to resist, repair, reconcile or
make a moral claim. Collectively they demonstrate that humor can
provide a powerful critique, a non-violent form of political
protest and the space for restoration of human dignity.
