[Dixielandjazz] Satire

[macjazz]

U. S. tends to define Satire in terms of humor and sarcasm so "Strange Fruit" doesn't fit.

If you use the broader definition: "def. the use of irony, sarcasm, ridicule, or the like, in exposing, denouncing, or deriding" then Strange Fruit comes right in.  There isn't a great deal of "humor" in Gulliver's travels, but it is considered a top satirical novel.
