The Blackface Minstrel Show in Mass Media

20th Century Performances on Radio, Records, Film and Television

Beschreibung

The minstrel show occupies a controversial space in American popular culture. While it is seen as a relic of America's racist past, it also provided the first vehicle by which African-Americans were able to enter the entertainment world. This book investigates the 20th century history of minstrelsy as it entered the age of mass media.
