Behind the Screen: Tap Dance, Race, and Invisibility During Hollywood's Golden Age - Brynn W. Shiovitz - Bog

Bag om Behind the Screen: Tap Dance, Race, and Invisibility During Hollywood's Golden Age

How and why was outdated racial content - and specifically blackface minstrelsy - not only permitted, but in fact allowed to thrive during the 1930s and 1940s despite the rigid motion picture censorship laws which were enforced during this time? Introducing a new theory of covert minstrelsy, this book illuminates Hollywood's practice of capitalizing on the Africanist aesthetic at the expense of Black lived experience.
