A sourcebook of contemporary and historical commentary on America's first popular mass entertainment.As the blackface minstrel show evolved from its beginnings in the American Revolution to its peak during the late 1800s, its frenetic dances, lowbrow humor, and lively music provided more than mere entertainment. Indeed, these imitations and parodies shaped society's perceptions of African Americansand of womenas well as made their mark on national identity, policymaking decisions, and other entertainment forms such as vaudeville, burlesque, the revue, and, eventually, film, radio, and television. Gathered here are rare primary materialsincluding firsthand accounts of minstrel shows, minstrelsy guides, jokes, sketches, and sheet musicand the best of contemporary scholarship on minstrelsy.
