In African American Satire, Darryl Dickson-Carr provides the first book-length study of African-American satire and the vital role it has played. In the process he investigates African American literature, American literature, and the history of satire."--Jacket Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (pages 209-220) and index Notes Master and use copy.
