Summary:	Expands the vista of critical approaches to comedy and representational politics on mainstream television from an interdisciplinary Laina/o studies approach. Examines how Ugly Betty uses humor and Latina/o camp to reframe socially charged issues on the show: representations of masculinity and familia, immigration, drag and queer subjectives, Latina sexuality, and finally, a Latina feminist critique of the American Dream. Ugly Betty moves beyond the binaries of traditional representational politics and opens a vista of critical possibility applicable to all mainstream texts that portray people of color through comedy. -- Publisher description.
