What is it about?
Satire and critical humour studies are disciplines that continue to offer immense potential for exploration, and it is within this scenario that Played Out brings a necessary, timely, and relevant contribution. The book comprises four main chapters: 1) of our satirical strivings, 2) neoliberalism and the funny race man, 3) integrationist intimacies, and 4) the president and his translator.

Why is it important?
The author takes the reader on a profound journey that ultimately supports his core argument, which is that when we reflect on the race man in America and its corresponding satire, there are three major dimensions at play: a) the idea of black male vulnerability, b) their interiority, and c) the ambivalent nature of satire and humour.
Perspectives
The book represents a solid and rich contribution to the debates around ethnic and racial relations in contemporary America and beyond. Furthermore, its innovative and in-depth analytical approach distinguishes it from many other titles, and will appeal to graduates, academics, and social scientists in multiple disciplines.
