How is The Simpsons a satirical artwork engaged with important
social, political, and cultural issues? Matthew A. Henry offers the
first comprehensive understanding of the show as a satire and
explores the ways in which The Simpsons participates in the
so-called "culture war" debates taking place in American society.
Situating The Simpsons within the framework of satirical humor in
American media, the tradition of the nuclear family sitcom, and the
history of the Fox Television network, this book explores American
culture thematically, examining how the show satirically engages
with issues of race and ethnicity, national identity, gender and
sexuality, social and economic class, and religion.
