|  | Our Dumb Century by Herman T. Zweibel, Scott Dikkers, Onion Writers Staff
In this collection of mock newspaper articles, editors from The Onion satirize 20th century-America by reporting on events--real, imagined, or exaggerated--that shaped the nation's consciousness. With catchy headlines and journalistic-style articles that spotlight overt racism, sexism, xenophobia, and general ignorance, the articles encapsulate the hypocrisy and absurdity of major events, advertising, and pop culture. Photos throughout. AUTHOR: Herman T. Zweibel, Scott Dikkers, Onion Writers Staff
