Description: Outrageous by Kliph Nesteroff Estimated delivery 4-14 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description From the preeminent historian of comedy, an expansive history of show business and the battles over culture that have echoed through the decades and changed the United StatesThere is a common belief that we live in unprecedented times, that nobody got offended in the past, that people are simply too sensitive today, that racism and sexism were once widely accepted without objection. The truth is precisely the opposite. With every step of our cultural history, minorities have pushed back against racist portrayals, women have fought for respect, and people have sought to change the world of entertainment and beyond through a combination of censorship, advocacy, or protest. Likewise, opposing forces have sought to sway public opinion and shape culture through violence and political and economic pressure.Kliph Nesteroff, author of The Comedians and We Had a Little Real Estate Problem, presents a deep dive into the history of show business and illustrates both how our world has changed and how the fierce battlegrounds of today are reflected in our past. Outrageous is a crucial and timeless book filled with surprising details, remarkable anecdotes, and unforgettable characters, including figures we think we know, such as Mae West, Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle, and Stan Laurel (who tried to bury his wife alive but still wasnt "cancelled"), to others readers may never have heard of.
