  • Love & Theft

    Blackface Minstrelsy and the American Working Class

    par Eric Lott ...
    Collections series Race and American Culture
    For over two centuries, America has celebrated the same African-American culture it attempts to control and repress, and nowhere is this phenomenon more apparent than in the strange practice of blackface performance.

  • Making and Unmaking Whiteness in Early New South Fiction After the Civil War

    par Peter Schmidt ...
    This essay—a work of literary criticism and critical race studies written to be accessible to non-specialists—examines how popular fiction contributed to and contested new forms of white racial dominance, collectively known as Jim Crow or the "color-line," in the U.S. in the 1880s and after.
