Abstract

The book review titled "Humour and Politics in Africa: Beyond Resistance" challenges the dominant framework of viewing humor as a mode of resistance in Africa. The authors argue that humor can be co-opted and captured by those in power, and they explore the nuances of humor in various African contexts. The book analyzes how humor is theorized, produced, consumed, and remediated in Africa, highlighting its political work and potential negative consequences. It also examines the relationship between silence and humor, and concludes by questioning the role of humor beyond the African nation state. The book provides a comprehensive study of the relationship between humor and politics in Africa and will be of interest to scholars and students. [Extracted from the article]
