Paperback. Condición: Very Good. 324 pages. A sourcebook of contemporary and historical commentary on America's first pop ular mass entertainment. As the blackface minstrel show evolved from its beginn ings in the American Revolution to its peak during the late 1800s, its frenetic dances, low-brow humor, and lively music provided more than mere entertainment. Indeed, these imitations and parodies shaped society's perceptions of African Am ericans-and of women-as well as made their mark on national identity, policymaki ng decisions, and other entertainment forms such as vaudeville, burlesque, the r evue, and, eventually, film, radio, and television. Gathered here are rare prima ry materials-including firsthand accounts of minstrel shows, minstrelsy guides, jokes, sketches, and sheet music-and the best of contemporary scholarship on min strelsy.
