Is Satire Saving our Nation?: Mockery and American Politics argues that contemporary satire has played a central role in shaping public debates and in fostering productive engagement with democracy. This book draws on a range of critical issues that intersect and overlap with its main argument, referencing scholarship on the state of democracy and media, while also studying the critical potential of satire and the satirists most influential in the nation today. Added to that is research on the millennial generation and their impact on a redefined notion of engaged citizenship and activism. The book also studies whether satire strengthens or weakens public perceptions of politics. Drawing on the insights of these various fields of research, the book rests on three verifiable claims: Contemporary satire has undergone significant change over previous eras in US history; today's satire exercises tremendous influence on public opinion; and post-9/11 satire is shaping a new version of US democracy. The book analyzes these three developments in order to answer a key question: Is satire saving our nation?
