In this much anticipated book, Cheryl Thompson has provided us a creative, comprehensive, and nuanced study of blackface minstrelsy. Drawing upon several critical perspectives and a rich interdisciplinary literature, Thompson has produced a crucial analysis of an important Canadian story. The history of blackface in the U.S. is extensive and well known, but less so in this country. Thompson's work will fundamentally change this, shedding light on how blackface was embedded in the national, cultural, and geopolitical landscapes of modern Canada. - Barrington Walker, McMaster University
