I read this book in college and was reminded of it after listening to ep 3 of the 1619 podcast. I remember really struggling to get through this cool, but also am surprised that 11 years later, I can still feel its impact. I want to read it again.

One of the crucial, seminal texts in the area of African-American studies looking at minstrel shows and their history. Particularly useful for its chapter at the end of the book on Uncle Tom's Cabin, Harriet Beecher Stowe's reaction to minstrel show adaptations of her novel springing up against her wishes, and the early background of the stage producers who first put up productions and plays.
