Abstract

In the early 1890's, black performer Bob Cole turned blackface minstrelsy on its head with his nationally recognized whiteface creation, a character he called Willie Wayside. Just over a century later, hiphop star Busta Rhymes performed a whiteface supercop in his hit music video ""Dangerous."" In this sweeping work, Marvin McAllister explores the enduring tradition of ""whiting up,"" in which African American actors, comics, musicians, and even everyday people have studied and assumed white racial identities. Not to be confused with racial ""passing"" or derogatory notions of ""acting...

Abstract

"Blacksound explores the sonic history of blackface minstrelsy and the racial foundations of American musical culture from the early 1800s through the turn of the twentieth century. With this namesake book, Matthew D. Morrison develops the concept of "blacksound" to uncover how the popular music industry and popular entertainment in general in the United States took shape during slavery out of blackface. "Blacksound" as an idea is not the music or sounds produced by Black Americans but instead the material and fleeting remnants of their sounds and performances that have been co-opted and amalgamated into the making of popular music. Morrison unpacks the relationship between performance, racial identity, and intellectual property to reveal how blackface minstrelsy scripts became absorbed into commercial entertainment through an unequal system of intellectual property and copyright laws. By introducing this foundational new concept in musicology, Blacksound highlights what is politically at stake-and for whom-in revisiting the long history of American popular music"--

Abstract

"Voici un livre qui donnera le vertige à ceux qui sont habitués aux standards de l'histoire culturelle", écrit Jacques Rancière dans la préface de "Peaux blanches, masques noirs". 1820, New York, marché Sainte-Catherine : près du port, des " nègres " dansent pour gagner quelques anguilles. À l'origine monnaie d'échange, ces danses deviennent une marque culturelle pour le lumpenprolétariat bigarré fasciné par le charisme et la gestuelle des Noirs. Fin du XXe siècle, de part et d'autre de l'Atlantique et sur MTV: Michael Jackson et M.C. Hammer se déhanchent avec des pas de danse et des gestes identiques aux danseurs d'anguilles. Pourquoi ces gestes ont-ils perduré ? Quels processus d'identification ont-ils mis en uvre? A qui appartiennent-ils ? Aux Noirs qui les ont créés, ou aux Blancs qui, une fois grimés en noir (le blackface), les ont copiés et assimilés ? Peaux blanches, masques noirs, à travers l'histoire des ménestrels du blackface et des lieux fondateurs de la culture américaine, explore cette longue mutation d'un lore limité aux frontières d'un marché multi-ethnique en une véritable culture populaire atlantique où l'échange et la reconnaissance de gestes signent une appartenance - le lore étant, au contraire du folklore, non pas la propriété d'un peuple, mais une matrice de savoir, de récits et de pratiques qui est tout entière affaire de circulation. Esclaves ou nouveaux affranchis noirs, mariniers ou commerçants blancs, tous vivaient dans les mêmes conditions d'une classe ouvrière luttant pour que la culture dominante les laisse libres d'échanger les marques de reconnaissance culturelles qu'ils partageaient. Du sifflement de Bobolink Bob sur le marché Sainte-Catherine à celui d'Al Jolson dans Le Chanteur de jazz, du Benito Cereno de Melville au Minstrel Boy de Bob Dylan, des peaux d'anguilles portées en guise de serre-tête aux dreadlocks afros, William Lhamon offre ici une fascinante anthropologie de ces signes culturels qui, après avoir vaincu les forces d'oppression qui tentaient de les étouffer, font aujourd'hui partie de notre quotidien.

Abstract

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. Born of extreme racial and class conflicts, the blackface minstrel show appropriated black dialect, music, and dance; at once applauded and lampooned black culture; and, ironically, contributed to a ""blackening of America."" Drawing on recent research in cultural studies and social history, Eric Lott examines the role of the blackface minstrel show in the political struggles of t
