Tracing intertwined histories of racialized performance from the mid-eighteenth through the early twentieth century across the United States and the British Empire, this study maps the circulations of blackface repertoires in theatrical spectacles, popular songs, visual materials, comic operas, closet dramas, dance forms, and Shakespearean burlesques.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Kellen Hoxworth focuses on overlooked performance histories, such as the early blackface minstrelsy of T. D. Rice’s “Jump Jim Crow” and the widely staged blackface burlesque versions of \u003ci\u003eOthello\u003c\/i\u003e, as traces of the racial and sexual anxieties of empire. From the nascent theatrical cultures of Australia, Britain, Canada, India, Jamaica, South Africa, and the United States, Transoceanic Blackface offers critical insight into the ways racialized performance animated the imperial “common sense” of white supremacy on a global scale.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eList of Figures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuthor'\u003cbr\u003es Note\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction: Furnishing the Empire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 1: Eddies in the Anglophone Imperial Stream\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 2: Jim Crow Puts a Girdle Round About the Earth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 3: Ensemble Blackface Minstrelsy Belts the World\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 4: \u003ci\u003eOthello\u003c\/i\u003e Travestied\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 5: The Racial Make-Up of Empire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEpilogue: Blackface Backwash\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcknowledgements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNotes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Northwestern University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52670811537688,"sku":"9780810147072","price":23.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/transoceanic-blackface-empire-race-performance-paperback-softback-9780810147072","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
