As a mode of expression for a generation of writers, comedians, cartoonists, musicians, filmmakers, and visual\/conceptual artists, satire enables collective questioning of many of the fundamental presumptions about black identity in the wake of the civil rights movement. Whether taking place in popular and controversial television shows, in a provocative series of short internet films, in prize-winning novels and plays, in comic strips, or in conceptual hip-hop albums, this satirical impulse has found a receptive audience both within and outside the black community.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSuch works have been variously called post-black, post-soul, and examples of a New Black Aesthetic.
