Description
In this "collection of Black humor from some of the most acclaimed writers and performers at work today, a critic explores what happens when a Yo Mamma joke goes too far. A violent town ritual causes an all-too-familiar moral panic. A writer shares the secret untold politics of The Electric Slide. All across the nation 'Karens' become illegal overnight. ... With words that roast, ignite, and burn while connecting to and coalescing around a singular thesis, this anthology emphasizes how and why Black American humor is uniquely transfixing. It's not just a mixture of observational anxieties and stream-of-consciousness lucidities but also an acute political clarity about America. Edited and with an introduction by Damon Young, ... the collection features an all-star roster of contributors including Hanif Abdurraqib, Mateo Askaripour, Mahogany L. Browne, Wyatt Cenac, Kiese Laymon, Angela Nissel, Deesha Philyaw, Nafissa Thompson Spires, Roy Wood Jr., Nicola Yoon, and more"--,Provided by publisher.
