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
disdain for non-Europeans plays a key role in period British humour
and links this idea to the racial humour in the work of Evelyn Waugh
and Joyce Cary. He also demonstrates how these assumptions are later
turned on their heads by writers such as Salman Rushdie.
