In minstrelsy, melodrama, vaudeville, and musical theater, both white and Black performers enacted blackface characterizations alongside Oriental stereotypes of opulence and deception, comic servitude, and exotic sexuality. Building on scholarship on orientalism in arts and culture and Blackness in minstrelsy, Lee shows how blackface was often associated with working-class masculinity and the development of a nativist white racial identity for European immigrants. Meanwhile, everything 'oriental,' Lee argues, marked what was culturally coded as foreign, feminized, and ornamental, and these conflicting racial representations were often intermingled in actual stage performance"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Race in the theater $z United States $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Race in the theater $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Orientalism $z United States $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Orientalism $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a African Americans in the performing arts $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a African Americans in the performing arts $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Blackface $z United States. 650 0 $a Yellowface $z United States. 651 0 $a United States $x Race relations. 650 7 $a African Americans in the performing arts. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799740 650 7 $a Blackface. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst02009118 650 7 $a Orientalism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01048139 650 7 $a Race in the theater. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01744919 650 7 $a Race relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01086509 650 7 $a Yellowface. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst02009120 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1800-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781469669632 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117025359.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=18FD87AA803411ED944134D030ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
