批評家のレビュー
"This book is more than funny - it's on David Sedaris-level first-class perfect f--king hilarious funny. I laughed so hard, I made a spectacle of myself." (Julia Sweeney, comedian, writer, former SNL cast member)
あらすじ・解説
From the acclaimed writer, director, and star of the hit documentary The Muslims Are Coming! comes a memoir in essays about growing up Iranian American in a post-9/11 world and the power of comedy to combat racism.
Negin Farsad is an Iranian American Muslim female stand-up comedian who believes she can change the world through jokes. And yes, sometimes that includes fart jokes. In this candid and uproarious book, Farsad shares her personal experiences growing up as the "other" in an American culture that has no time for nuance. In fact she longed to be Black and/or Mexican at various points of her youth - you know, like normal kids. Right? Right?
Writing bluntly and hilariously about the elements of race we are often too politically correct to discuss, Farsad takes a long, hard look at the iconography that still shapes our concepts of "Black", "White", and "Muslim" today - and what it means when White culture defines the culture. Farsad asks the important questions, like, "What does it mean to have a hyphenated identity?", "How can we actually combat racism, stereotyping, and exclusion?", and "Do Iranians get bunions at a higher rate than other ethnic groups?" (She's asking for a friend.)
How to Make White People Laugh tackles these questions with wit, humor, and incisive intellect. And along the way, you might just learn a thing or two about tetherball, Duck Dynasty, and wine slushies.
