Humor and Latina/o Camp in Ugly Betty
Humor and Latina/o Camp in Ugly Betty: Funny Looking expands the vista of critical approaches to comedy and representational politics on mainstream television from an interdisciplinary Latina/o studies approach.

This work will be of interest to scholars in media studies, Latina/o studies, and communication studies.
