Centering race in the twenty-first century. 520 $a "By subverting comedy's rules and expectations, African American satire promotes social justice by connecting laughter with ethical beliefs in a revolutionary way. Danielle Fuentes Morgan ventures from Suzan-Lori Parks to Leslie Jones and Dave Chappelle to Get Out and Atlanta to examine the satirical treatment of race and racialization across today's African American culture. Morgan analyzes how African American artists highlight the ways that society racializes people and bolsters the powerful myth that we live in a "post-racial" nation. The latter in particular inspires artists to take aim at the idea racism no longer exists or the laughable notion of Americans "not seeing" racism or race. Their critique changes our understanding of the boundaries between staged performance and lived experience and create ways to better articulate Black selfhood. Adventurous and perceptive, Laughing to Keep from Dying reveals how African American satirists unmask the illusions and anxieties surrounding race in the twenty-first century"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a African Americans in mass media. 650 0 $a American literature $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Satire, American $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Literature and mental illness $z United States $x History $y 21st century. 650 0 $a African Americans $x Race identity. 650 0 $a African Americans in popular culture. 650 0 $a African Americans and mass media. 650 0 $a African Americans $x Intellectual life. 650 7 $a African Americans and mass media. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799719 650 7 $a African Americans in mass media. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799731 650 7 $a African Americans in popular culture. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799734 650 7 $a African Americans $x Intellectual life. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799627 650 7 $a African Americans $x Race identity. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799666 650 7 $a American literature $x African American authors. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00807114 650 7 $a Literature and mental illness. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01000083 650 7 $a Satire, American. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01105681 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 2000-2099 $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Morgan, Danielle Fuentes, 1983- $t Laughing to keep from dying. $d Urbana : University of Illinois Press, [2020] $z 9780252052279 $w (DLC) 2020012145 830 0 $a New Black studies series 941 $a 3 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240305043221.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317015353.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20210701010526.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C1704438652711EBAC2324F85BECA4DB 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
