The practice gained popularity during the 1. It quickly became popular elsewhere, particularly so in Britain, where the tradition lasted longer than in the U. S., occurring on primetime TV, most famously in The Black and White Minstrel Show, which ended in 1. Early white performers in blackface used burnt cork and later greasepaint or shoe polish to blacken their skin and exaggerate their lips, often wearing woolly wigs, gloves, tailcoats, or ragged clothes to complete the transformation. Later, black artists also performed in blackface. Stereotypes embodied in the stock characters of blackface minstrels not only played a significant role in cementing and proliferating racist images, attitudes, and perceptions worldwide, but also in popularizing black culture. Another view is that . It remains in relatively limited use as a theatrical device and is more commonly used today as social commentary or satire. Perhaps the most enduring effect of blackface is the precedent it established in the introduction of African- American culture to an international audience, albeit through a distorted lens. John Strausbaugh places it as part of a tradition of . From at least the 1. United States. Rice, who truly popularized blackface. Rice introduced the song . While both are wearing wigs, the man on the left is in blackface and drag. Rice traveled the U. S., performing under the stage name . The name Jim Crow later became attached to statutes that codified the reinstitution of segregation and discrimination after Reconstruction. Initially, Rice and his peers performed only in relatively disreputable venues, but as blackface gained popularity they gained opportunities to perform as entr'actes in theatrical venues of a higher class. Stereotyped blackface characters developed: buffoonish, lazy, superstitious, cowardly, and lascivious characters, who stole, lied pathologically, and mangled the English language. Early blackface minstrels were all male, so cross- dressing white men also played black women who were often portrayed as unappealingly and grotesquely mannish, in the matronly mammy mold, or as highly sexually provocative. The 1. 83. 0s American stage, where blackface first rose to prominence, featured similarly comic stereotypes of the clever Yankee and the larger- than- life Frontiersman. Christy did more or less the same, apparently independently, earlier the same year in Buffalo, New York.). Though written in dialect and certainly politically incorrect by today's standards, his later songs were free of the ridicule and blatantly racist caricatures that typified other songs of the genre. Foster's works treated slaves and the South in general with an often cloying sentimentality that appealed to audiences of the day. Minstrel shows dominated popular show business in the U. S. Some social commentators have stated that blackface provided an outlet for whites' fear of the unknown and the unfamiliar, and a socially acceptable way of expressing their feelings and fears about race and control. Writes Eric Lott in Love and Theft: Blackface Minstrelsy and the American Working Class, . As early as 1. 83. Thomas D. Stone in Boston Blackie's Rendezvous. In the first known film of Uncle Tom's Cabin (1. Griffith's The Birth of a Nation (1. Thereafter, whites in blackface would appear almost exclusively in broad comedies or . The radio program Amos 'n' Andy (1. Strausbaugh estimates that roughly one- third of late 1. MGM cartoons . The story behind the ballet was inspired by a tone poem written by Nicolai Rimsky- Korsakov. In the ballet the leading female character, Zobeide, is seduced by a Golden Slave. The dancer who portrayed the Golden Slave, the first being Vaslav Nijinsky, would have his face and body painted brown for the performance. This was done to show the audience the slave was of a darker complexion. Later in 1. 91. 2, Fokine choreographed the ballet Petrushka, which was performed on stage. The ballet centers around three puppets that come to life, Petrushka, the Ballerina, and the Moor. When the ballet premiered, the part of the Moor, first danced by Aleksandr Orlov, was performed in full blackface. The Moor puppet is first seen onstage playing with a coconut, which he attempts to open with his scimitar. His movements are apelike. The Moor seduces the Ballerina and later savagely cuts off the head of the puppet Petrushka. When Petrushka is performed today, the part of the Moor is still done in full blackface, or occasionally blueface. The blackface has not been publicly criticized in the ballet community. Black and brownface appear in other ballets today, such as La Bayad. Shown here in blackface, he was the highest- paid African American entertainer of his day. Frederick Douglass generally abhorred blackface and was one of the first people to write against the institution of blackface minstrelsy, condemning it as racist in nature, with inauthentic, northern, white origins. This presumption of authenticity could be a bit of a trap, with white audiences seeing them more like . Despite often smaller budgets and smaller venues, their public appeal sometimes rivalled that of white minstrel troupes. In March 1. 86. 6, Booker and Clayton's Georgia Minstrels may have been the country's most popular troupe, and were certainly among the most critically acclaimed. One of the most successful black minstrel companies was Sam Hague's Slave Troupe of Georgia Minstrels, managed by Charles Hicks. This company eventually was taken over by Charles Callendar. The Georgia Minstrels toured the United States and abroad and later became Haverly's Colored Minstrels. Some jubilee troupes pitched themselves as quasi- minstrels and even incorporated minstrel songs; meanwhile, blackface troupes began to adopt first jubilee material and then a broader range of southern black religious material. Within a few years, the word . In the early days of African- American involvement in theatrical performance, blacks could not perform without blackface makeup, regardless of how dark- skinned they were. James Monroe Trotter — a middle- class African American who had contempt for their . Owing to the discrimination of the day, . It was through blackface performers, white and black, that the richness and exuberance of African- American music, humor, and dance first reached mainstream, white audiences in the U. S. It was also a forum for the sexual double entendre gags that were frowned upon by white moralists. There was often a subtle message behind the outrageous vaudeville routines: The laughter that cascaded out of the seats was directed parenthetically toward those in America who allowed themselves to imagine that such 'nigger' showtime was in any way respective of the way we live or thought about ourselves in the real world. Still, TOBA headliners like Tim Moore and Johnny Hudgins could make a very good living, and even for lesser players, TOBA provided fairly steady, more desirable work than generally was available elsewhere. Blackface served as a springboard for hundreds of artists and entertainers—black and white—many of whom later would go on to find work in other performance traditions. For example, one of the most famous stars of Haverly's European Minstrels was Sam Lucas, who became known as the . The comics said they felt . Blacks took over the form and made it their own. The professionalism of performance came from black theater. Some argue that the black minstrels gave the shows vitality and humor that the white shows never had. As the black social critic Le. Roi Jones has written: It is essential to realize that.. America is important if only because of the Negro's reaction to it. The cakewalk is caricaturing white customs, while white theater companies attempted to satirize the cakewalk as a black dance. Again, as Le. Roi Jones notes: If the cakewalk is a Negro dance caricaturing certain white customs, what is that dance when, say, a white theater company attempts to satirize it as a Negro dance? I find the idea of white minstrels in blackface satirizing a dance satirizing themselves a remarkable king of irony—which, I suppose is the whole point of minstrel shows. Blacks, including slaves, were influenced by white culture, including white musical culture. Certainly this was the case with church music from very early times. Complicating matters further, once the blackface era began, some blackface minstrel songs unquestionably written by New York- based professionals (Stephen Foster, for example) made their way to the plantations in the South and merged into the body of African- American folk music. Well into the 2. 0th century, scholars took the stories at face value. They drew on much material of undoubted slave origins, but they also drew on a professional performer's instincts, while working within an established genre, and with the same motivation as white performers to make exaggerated claims of the authenticity of their own material. Author Strausbaugh summed up as follows: . It was a mix, a mutt – that is, it was American music. The generic British golliwog later made its way back across the Atlantic as dolls, toy tea sets, ladies' perfume, and in myriad other forms. Blackface was one of the influences in the development of characters such as Mickey Mouse. Mickey, of course, was already black, but the advertising poster for the film shows Mickey with exaggerated, orange lips; bushy, white sidewhiskers; and his now trademark white gloves. For decades, darky images had been seen in the branding of everyday products and commodities such as Picaninny Freeze, the Coon Chicken Inn. Dakkochan was a black child with large red lips and a grass skirt. There were boy and girl dolls, with the girls being distinguished by a bow. The black skin of the dolls was said to have been significant and in- line with the rising popularity of jazz. Novelist Tensei Kawano went as far as to state, . Page.
