Description
This work examines racial impersonations - blackfaces - in modern American film, fiction, poetry, painting, photography, and journalism. Gubar shows how the white popular imagination has evolved through a series of oppositional identities that are dependent on the idea of black others. She draws from a range of illustrative work, with examples from high and low culture, and from turn-of-the century to present day.
