Breaking Blackface: African Americans, Stereotypes, and Country Music
Original language description
Country is without a doubt the whitest American genre of music, and the banjo is the most quintessential instrument used in it. Both the musical style and the instrument, however, have their roots in African-American culture. It is widely believed that the blackface minstrel tradition in the nineteenth century not only appropriated and ridiculed African Americans but also eventually alienated them from their own music. This paper will demonstrate that African-American country music continued to thrive, if not flourish, in the twentieth century. It will also examine how contemporary Black musicians have begun to rescue and redeem their musical heritage from the racist baggage of the past, thereby beginning to break the blackface tradition and legacy.
