The Comedy of Dave Chappelle

Perhaps best known for his highly acclaimed, short-lived Comedy Central program "Chappelle's Show", Dave Chappelle is widely regarded as one of today's most culturally significant comedians. Through the sketch comedy show and his stand-up act, Chappelle has offered truly memorable commentary on racial and ethnic tensions in American society. This book assembles 13 essays that examine motifs common in Chappelle's comedy, including technology and digital culture; race, gender, and ethnicity; economics and politics; music, television, film, and performance; and, memory, language, and identity.
