Ross examines racial humour as a manifestation of post-colonialism and
questions contemporary critiques of "political correctness." Looking
at cartoons from pre-World War II issues of Punch, Ross shows how

and Joyce Cary. He also demonstrates how these assumptions are later
turned on their heads by writers such as Salman Rushdie.
