Canada and the Blackface Atlantic

Performing Slavery, Conflict, and Freedom, 1812-1897

Beschreibung

This book traces the rise of Canadian blackface, including the country's first stages. It outlines the minstrels troupes, jubilee choirs and concert singers who performed to audiences on the same stages, and ultimately argues that the theatre helped to create racial and gender stereotypes while also challenging ideas about slavery and freedom.
