Love and Theft: Blackface Minstrelsy and the American Working Class by Eric Lott

5.0

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.
