Jump Jim Crow: Lost Plays, Lyrics, and Street Prose of the First Atlantic Popular Culture

Beginning in the 1830s, white actor Thomas Rice took to the stage as Jim Crow, and the ragged and charismatic trickster of black folklore entered-and forever transformed-American popular culture. Jump Jim Crow brings together for the first time the plays and songs performed in this guise and reveals how these texts code the complex use and abuse of blackness.
