"Based on the appropriation of black dialect, music, and dance, minstrelsy at once applauded and lampooned black culture, ironically contributing to a 'blackening of America'.. For over two centuries, America has celebrated the very black culture it attempts to control and repress.. Reading minstrel music, lyrics, jokes, burlesque skits, and illustrations in tandem with working-class racial ideologies and the sex / gender system, 'Love and Theft' argues that blackface minstrelsy both embodied and disrupted the racial tendencies of its largely white, male, working-class audiences.. [and] transgressed the color line even as it enabled the formation of a self-consciously white working class".. [from jacket blurb].
