Ndiaye analyzes how white actors' impersonations of Afro-diasporic individuals contributed to the creation of racial scripts that perpetuated stereotypes of blackness associated with animalism and subservience. The book is organized around three main themes: cosmetic blackness, acoustic blackness, and kinetic blackness, each revealing the complexities of racial representation and the colonial implications of these performances. Ndiaye's work challenges the traditional focus on Anglophone literature, offering a broader understanding of race-making practices in early modern performance culture. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Journal for Early Modern Cultural Studies is the property of University of Pennsylvania Press and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
