Abstract
This research explores the element of the colonial laughter in Leon
Schuster’s projects, Mr.Bones and Sweet and Short. I engage with the
theories of progressive black scholars in discussing the way Schuster
represents black people in these projects. I conclude by
probing what the possibilities are in as far as rupturing the paradigms of
negative imaging that Schuster, and those that support the idea of white
supremacy through their projects, seek/s to normalise.
