Summary	Humour and freedom of expression were widely discussed following the January 2015 Charlie Hebdo attacks. However, much analysis failed to assess the evolution of French humour in recent decades. This book examines what both Charlie Hebdo and French stand-up comedy can tell us about multiculturalism and humour in contemporary France.
Contents	Introduction : Humour : a serious issue in contemporary France -- Charlie Hebdo : from controversy to consensus? -- Dieudonné : from anti-racist activism to allegations of anti-Semitism -- Jamel Comedy Club : stand-up comedy à la française? -- Islam and humour: more than just a debate about cartoons.
