Requests:  0 Summary:  From Mae West and Lenny Bruce to Richard Pryor and Kathy Griffith, comedians have long been under fire for using provocative, often taboo subjects to challenge mores and get a laugh. But in the age of social media, comedians are at greater risk of being silenced, enduring shaming, threats, and damaged careers because of angry, censorious electronic mobs. And a new threat has emerged from the left: identity politics and notions like "safetyism" and trigger warnings that are now creating a cultural and political standard that runs perilously close to censorship. Gold provides a concise, funny, and thoughtful polemic on the current assault on comedy. -- adapted from publisher info   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Art, Music & Recreation 792.76 Go Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 792.76 Go Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 792.76 Go Checked In Add Copy to MyList
