In the wake of the Charlie Hebdo attacks, this collection - which
gathers scholars in the fields of race, ethnicity, and humor -
seems especially urgent. Inspired by Denmark's Muhammad cartoons
controversy, the contributors inquire into the role that racial and
ethnic stereotypes play in visual humor and the thin line that
separates broad characterization as a source of humor from its
power to shock or exploit. The authors investigate the ways in
which humor is used to demean or give identity to racial, national,
or ethnic groups and explore how humor works differently in
different media, such as cartoons, photographs, film, video,
television, and physical performance. This is a timely and
necessary study that will appeal to scholars across disciplines.
