And why aren't there as many examples of people of color in whiteface? This book explains what blackface is, why it occurred, and what its legacies are in the 21st century. There is a filthy and vile thread-sometimes it's tied into a noose-that connects the first performances of Blackness on English stages, the birth of blackface minstrelsy, contemporary performances of Blackness, and anti-Black racism. \u003ci\u003eBlackface \u003c\/i\u003eexamines that history and provides hope for a future with new performance paradigms. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eObject Lessons is published in partnership with an essay series in \u003ci\u003eThe Atlantic.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAyanna Thompson\u003c\/b\u003e is a Regents Professor of English and Director of the Arizona Center for Medieval \u0026amp; Renaissance Studies (ACMRS) at Arizona State University, USA.
