Minstrelsy in African American Films: Do You See It?
<p><strong>Minstrelsy began in the early 1800s, a type of American entertainment that depicted and mocked people of African descent through comic skits, a variety of acts, dancing, and music performances. The first minstrel shows were performed by white people that would blacken their faces with shoe polish. These performances would display the derogative qualities of Black people being lazy, ignorant, hypersexual, or thieves. Thomas Dartmouth Rice is known as one of the first people to popularize minstrelsy through his “Jim Crow” character. By the mid-1800s, minstrelsy was booming and quickly became a worldwide phenomenon that an entertainment subindustry was created. Minstrelsy began to receive high disapproval from society, especially the Black community, in the early 1900s during the Civil Rights Movement. However, the toxic art form was not banished entirely from society, but actually used in more subtle ways throughout the entertainment industry.</strong></p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>Sources</strong></p> <p><strong>Films</strong></p> <p>Imitation of Life (dir.
