- Summary:
- In this erudite and entertaining exploration of race in American popular culture, the author tackles blackface--a strange, often scandalous, and now taboo entertainment--showing that its impact has been deep, long-lasting, and can be seen in rock and hip-hop, in vaudeville, Broadway, and drag performances even today.
