Reviews
By considering the Americas as an expansive geographic unit, Danielle Roper demonstrates how a black studies methodology cuts through the foundational fictions that obscure or romanticize the structural and cultural implications of the afterlives of slavery and colonization. In so doing, she disrupts what otherwise might be considered area studies or nation-centered models by showing how multiracial societies rely on practices and tropes of anti-blackness. An outstanding and timely book., Most studies of blackface privilege the nation and its history to understand the rise, popularity, and aesthetics of blackface performance. What makes Danielle Roper's book so special is how it looks across spaces in the Americas to think about blackface comparatively in places many readers might not expect. It helps chart a new course for understanding the contemporary uses of blackface as well as the broader political currents in the Americas regarding race and multiculturalism. This major work will come to be seen as a model for hemispheric approaches to the study of cultural production in the Americas., By considering the Americas as an expansive geographic unit, Danielle Roper demonstrates how a black studies methodology cuts through the foundational fictions that obscure or romanticize the structural and cultural implications of the afterlives of slavery and colonization.

Synopsis
In Hemispheric Blackface , Danielle Roper examines blackface performance and its relationship to twentieth- and twenty-first-century nationalist fictions of mestizaje , creole nationalism, and other versions of postracialism in the Americas. Challenging both the dominance of the US minstrel tradition and the focus on the nation in blackface studies, Roper maps a hemispheric network of racial impersonation in Peru, Bolivia, Colombia, Jamaica, Cuba, and Miami. She analyzes blackface performance in the aftermath of the turn to multiculturalism in Latin America, the emergence of modern blackness in Jamaica, and the rise of Barack Obama in the United States, showing how blackface remains embedded in cultural entertainment. Contending that the Americas are linked by repeating nationalist fictions of postracialism, colorblindness, and myths of racial democracy, Roper assesses how acts of impersonation mediate the ongoing power of these narratives and enable people to comprehend advancements and reversals in racial equality. Rather than simply framing blackface as liberatory or oppressive, Roper traces its emergence from a shared history of slavery and the varied politics of racial enjoyment throughout the hemisphere., Danielle Roper examines blackface performance and its relationship to twentieth- and twenty-first-century nationalist fictions of mestizaje, creole nationalisms, and other versions of postracialism in the Americas.

Thank you postal service lol. The delivery took way longer than listed though, it was listed to come in a week from purchase, but took a whole month. I had some concerns at first, but communication with the company was top notch and they were very professional and answered most of my questions satisfyingly. Just prepare for a longer wait than listed, but I got what I bought lol.
