Available in English for the first time, Seriously Funny is a groundbreaking work. Its goal is to examine the ways in which political humour has developed and operated in one country over more than four centuries. Although political humour thrives in Mexico, it is often cleverly encoded so that it doesn't appear to be critical of government policies or officials. But, writes Samuel Schmidt, that is precisely its purpose: to question the actions and assumptions of the party in power.
