Political Entertainment in a Post-Authoritarian Democracy Humor and the Mexican Media

"If satire might be a universally global form of political talk, how is it reworked within local cultures? This book provides a marvelous exploration of that question. Utilizing mixed methods, the work is multi-faceted and sure to be of interest to anyone interested in satire, political entertainment, or Latin American politics. It's a brilliant example of how to approach globalized political entertainment in a specific, and complicated, national context."
