Minstrelsy-Pop



Check out this week's The Nation, where the incomparable Daphne Brooks drops knowledge about British (blackface?) artist Amy Winehouse's continued neo-minstrel performance politics.

Thanks for the link to this article. I thought it was brilliant. I have not really come across the idea that women also benefitted from the craze for minstrelsy before, so thanks.

Peace,
Didn't like the article---I thought it was a personal lash at Amy Winehouse...truth be told, Ms. Winehouse is a talented, soulful Woman...who needs some help.
