The Sanity of Satire: Surviving Politics One Joke at a Time

Rowman & Littlefield Publishers (2020)
  Copy   BIBTEX

Abstract

Political humor and satire are, perhaps, as old as comedy itself, and they are crucial to our society and collective sense of self. In a poignant, pithy, but not a ponderous manner, Al Gini and Abraham Singer delve into satire’s history to rejoice in its triumphs and watch its development from ancient graffiti to the latest late night TV talk show.
