Michael Jackson and the Blackface Mask (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

In this expanded, all-new edition, this book argues for the tangible relationship between Jackson and blackface minstrelsy. It reveals the dialogue at minstrelsy's core and, in its broader sense, tracks a centuries-long pattern of racial oppression and its resistance and how that has been played out in popular theatre.
