Informationen zum Autor Gillota, David Klappentext When wielded by the white majority, ethnic humor can be used to ridicule and demean marginalized groups. In the hands of ethnic minorities themselves, ethnic humor can work as a site of community building and resistance. David Gillota explores the ways in which contemporary comic works both reflect and participate in national conversations about race and ethnicity.
