Focusing on the unique British trajectory of blackface minstrelsy, the book explores its impact on popular culture in the UK and its connections to other Anglophone nations, including South Africa and Australia. It highlights the lack of scholarly work in Britain compared to the extensive studies in the United States, while examining the cultural exchanges and influences that shaped this controversial performance tradition across different contexts, including colonial and postcolonial settings.
