call for submissions


Working title: THE UGLY AMERICAN
Conceived: Tracy Ann Essoglou
Date: March 22, 1993


Project Description: Global collection of jokes, riddles and humorous anecdotes, making fun of "Americans."
Growing out of my multifaceted interest in communication, popular culture and activism, and humor as a unique form of commentary, I am compiling jokes, cartoons, riddles and humorous anecdotes from around the world that make fun of "Americans". As a jokebook, this compilation is intended to amuse and stimulate, while also illuminating perceptions of Americans from the perspective of cultures beyond U.S. boundaries. If you know any jokes about Americans or America, or any other source for such material, and this project sounds fun and interesting, or if you have any questions, please let me know.

much thanks Esso
