By investigating enactments of whiteness--from the use of white makeup and suggestive masks, to literary motifs and cultural narratives regarding "white" characteristics and qualities--Faedra Chatard Carpenter explores how artists have challenged commonly held notions of racial identity. Through its layered study of expressive culture, her book considers how artistic and performance strategies are used to "color" whiteness and complicate blackness in our contemporary moment. Utilizing theories of performance and critical race studies, Coloring Whiteness is also propelled by Carpenter's dramaturgical sensibilities. Her analysis of primary performance texts is informed not only by traditional print and visual materials, but also by her interviews with African American theater artists, visual artists, and cultural critics. The book is an invaluable contribution to the fields of theater and performance studies, African American studies, cultural studies, critical race studies, and American studies"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 279-292) and index. 505 0 $a Dramaturgies of whiteness in contemporary in contemporary African American performance -- Douglas Turner Ward's play on whiteness: Day of Absence on America's public stages -- Staging hegemonic whiteness: The Bluest Eye and the performative paradoxes of (in)visibility -- Whiteness as "becoming": the corporeal crossovers of Daniel Tisdale and Michael Jackson -- "Mixing it up": enacting whiteness in the comedic world of Dave Chappelle -- "Sounding off on sounding white": aural whiteness, linguistic whiteface, and the economics of opportunity -- Whiteface to postrace?: the artful interrogations of Jefferson Pinder. 650 0 $a African American theater $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a African Americans $x Race identity. 650 0 $a Whites $x Race identity. 651 0 $a United States $x Race relations $y 20th century. 650 0 $a African Americans in the performing arts. 650 7 $a PERFORMING ARTS / Television / History & Criticism. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a African American theater. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799418 650 7 $a African Americans in the performing arts. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799740 650 7 $a African Americans $x Race identity. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799666 650 7 $a Race relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01086509 650 7 $a Whites $x Race identity. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01174825 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1900 - 1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 830 0 $a Theater--theory/text/performance. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231219011631.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826103250.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=900564A6246D11E5A97E42B6DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
