Beskrivning

How do nationalized stereotypes inform the reception and content of the migrant comedian’s work? Relating their work to popular twenty-first century comedians, this book also discusses the tools and ideas that contextualize the border-crossing comedian’s work—including diplomacy, translation, improvisation, and parody—across time.
