[null,null,null,"Sommario/riassunto","This book, edited by Alfred L. Martin Jr., explores the intersection of Blackness and comedy, focusing on how Black comedians use humor to engage with cultural, political, and racial themes. It examines the historical and contemporary roles of African American comedians, the impact of Black humor on media and television, and the unique cultural expressions found in Black laughter. The collection includes essays on various topics, such as the evolution of Black stand-up comedy, the portrayal of Black comedians in media, and the influence of social media platforms like Black Twitter in political humor. Through these discussions, the book highlights the symbiotic relationship between Black identity and comedic expression, offering insights into the cultural significance of Black comedy in both historical and modern contexts. The intended audience includes scholars of media studies, cultural studies, comedy, and race relations."]
