520 1 $a"This timely work displays ethnic, racial, and gender humor in both its aspects: as an aggressive instrument of prejudice and as a powerful defense against it. Rappoport explores the origins and implications of the various slurs, stereotypes, and obscenities that are typical of this double edged form of modern comedy, as well as the ways in which irony has been employed by minority figures as a weapon against oppression."--BOOK JACKET.
