What constitutes Jewish humor from Al Jolson and the Marx brothers to
"wild women" comedians and Woody Allen is taken seriously, and its roots
are traced back to the immigrant experience, parodies in rabbinic literature, and Job and other biblical stories. Greenspoon (classical and Near Eastern studies and theology/Jewish civilization, Creighton U., Omaha,
Nebraska) introduces 14 papers presented at his campus in October 2009 with a selection of examples of wordplay, role reversals, self-deprecation and other forms of humor from each. (Annotation C2011 Book News Inc. Portland,
