The Black Pack

Comedy, Race, and Resistance

Beschreibung

This book tells the story of how five comedic pioneers—Eddie Murphy, Paul Mooney, Keenen Ivory Wayans, Robert Townsend, and Arsenio Hall—joined forces to revolutionize American popular culture. Known as Hollywood’s “Black Pack,” they shattered Hollywood norms, using sharp social satire to boldly critique America’s persistent racial inequalities.
