Danielle Fuentes Morgan ventures from Suzan-Lori Parks to Leslie Jones and Dave Chappelle to Get Out and Atlanta to examine the satirical treatment of race and racialization across today's African American culture. Morgan analyzes how African American artists highlight the ways that society racializes people and bolsters the powerful myth that we live in a "post-racial" nation. The latter in particular inspires artists to take aim at the idea racism no longer exists or the laughable notion of Americans "not seeing" racism or race. Their critique changes our understanding of the boundaries between staged performance and lived experience and create ways to better articulate Black selfhood. Adventurous and perceptive, Laughing to Keep from Dying reveals how African American satirists unmask the illusions and anxieties surrounding race in the twenty-first century"-- |cProvided by publisher. 504 Includes bibliographical references and index. 533 Electronic reproduction. |bNew York |nAvailable via World Wide Web. 588 Description based on online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on January 12, 2021). 651 7 United States. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 Criticism, interpretation, etc. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 History. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411628 650 0 African Americans in mass media. 650 0 American literature |xAfrican American authors |xHistory and criticism. 650 0 Satire, American |xHistory and criticism. 650 0 Literature and mental illness |zUnited States |xHistory |y21st century. 650 0 African Americans |xRace identity. 650 0 African Americans in popular culture. 650 0 African Americans and mass media. 650 0 African Americans |xIntellectual life. 648 7 2000-2099 |2fast 776 08 |iPrint version:Morgan, Danielle Fuentes, 1983- |tLaughing to keep from dying |dUrbana : University of Illinois Press, [2020] |z9780252043390 |w(DLC) 2020012144 830 0 New Black studies series 910 JSTOR DDA 956 40 |uhttps://www.jstor.org/stable/10.5406/j.ctv1b0fvmk 980 17126281
