Spike Lee's Bamboozled and Blackface in American Culture
Elizabeth L. Sanderson
Omschrijving
This book analyzes the work of minstrel performer Bert Williams, director Oscar Micheaux, writer Ralph Ellison, painter Michael Ray Charles, and director Spike Lee, all through the lens of Spike Lee's misunderstood film Bamboozled. Equal parts biographyand cultural analysis, it examines the intersections of these five artists and Bamboozled, investigating their shared legacy of resistance against misrepresentation- Spike Lee's challenging film Bamboozled (2000) is often read as a surface level satire of blackface minstrelsy. Careful analysis, however, gives way to a complex and nuanced study of the history of black performance. This book analyses the work of five men through the lens of this misunderstood film.
