| About This
Book: The humor of African-American life is inextricably tied to the humor on the African-American stage, its character shaped by the contradictions of being Black and Bewildered and Bothered in the New World. It is a humor that breathes sanity and humanity in the midst of profound circumstances. To find logic in this existence is at the heart of the African-American comic odyssey. Writers who understand the mythic comic paradigm articulate the rage, the panic, the contradictions of a New World existence. African-American humor functions to heal, to clarify...This is the work of generations healing the wounds. To laugh is to diffuse the powerful fuse of rage burning beneath the soul
