This book presents an ethnographic perspective on the intersection of humor, identity, and belonging. Based on recorded interactions between Americans and Japanese, it explores how beliefs and stereotypes surrounding gaijin 'foreigner' identities create various types of humor such as mockery, sarcasm, and conversational jokes.
