Whitewashing Blackface Minstrelsy In Nineteenth-Century England: Female Banjo Players In 'Punch', Laura Vorachek

English Faculty Publications

Blackface minstrelsy, popular in England since its introduction in 1836, reached its apogee in 1882 when the Prince of Wales took banjo lessons from James Bohee, an African-American performer. The result, according to musicologist Derek Scott, was a craze for the banjo among men of the middle classes. However, a close look at the periodical press, and the highly influential Punch in particular, indicates that the fad extended to women as well. While blackface minstrelsy was considered a wholesome entertainment in Victorian England, Punch's depiction of female banjo players highlights English unease with this practice in a way that male …

By The Limuru Road, Ann Barry Burrows

English Theses & Dissertations

The road to Limuru, Kenya runs beside a mission hospital named Nazareth; this much is true. In these fictional accounts, if the walls — even when topped by glass shards — can be breached by violence, if troubles come inside the gigantic gate, the characters nonetheless discover that compassion, too, can invade. As they care for the sick, they pay the personal costs of belonging to this high, green, misty ridge in Africa during the AIDS epidemic and the ascendancy of modern ways.

Cream City Disco, Lucas Flatt

Cream City Disco tells the story of Matt Bauer, a musician and IT employee unhappy in the rural south, who forms a hip-hop band with his aloof friends. Along for the ride is little sister Jasmine, whose dancing abilities put her on stage with her brother. Competing visions for this artistic enterprise and the increasingly sinister leadership of head MC Chuck Reya jeopardize Matt's aspirations and his relationship with Jazz, as interspersed accounts of Matt's forays into the digital realm of Lord-o-Landia bolster his courage for the telling.
