Omschrijving
Tracing intertwined histories of racialized performance from the mid-eighteenth through the early twentieth century across the US and the British Empire, this study maps the circulations of blackface repertoires in theatrical spectacles, popular songs, visual materials, comic operas, closet dramas, dance forms, and Shakespearean burlesques.
“Kellen Hoxworth’s Transoceanic Blackface: Race, Empire, Performance is poised to become a cornerstone study of blackface minstrelsy, racial impersonation, and the provenance of global popular cultures. This methodologically deft and theoretically ambitious book is cultural studies at its finest.” —Douglas A. Jones, Duke University
“This timely and relevant study’s ambitious agenda to broaden how we view the roots, routes, and futures of blackface minstrelsy is firmly grounded in but unrestrained by previous minstrel scholarship.” —Marvin McAllister, Winthrop University
Kellen Hoxworth is an assistant professor of theater studies at the University at Buffalo.
