Drawing on a rich variety of sources, Thompson explicates how black musical performance was used by white Europeans and Americans to justify enslavement, perpetuate the existing racial hierarchy, and mask the brutality of the domestic slave trade. Whether on slave ships, at the auction block, or on plantations, whites often used coerced performances to oppress and demean the enslaved. As Thompson shows, however, blacks' "backstage" use of musical performance often served quite a different purpose. Through creolization and other means, enslaved people preserved some native musical and dance traditions and invented or adopted new traditions that built community and even aided rebellion. Thompson shows how these traditions evolved into nineteenth-century minstrelsy and, ultimately, raises the question of whether today's mass media performances and depictions of African Americans are so very far removed from their troublesome roots"-- c Provided by publisher. 000710597 588__ $$aDescription based on print verison record. 000710597 650_0 $$aSlaves$$zSouthern States$$vSongs and music. 000710597 650_0 $$aSlaves$$zUnited States$$xSocial life and customs. 000710597 650_0 $$aRace in the theater$$zUnited States$$xHistory. 000710597 650_0 $$aTheater and society$$zUnited States$$xHistory. 000710597 650_0 $$aAfrican American dance$$xHistory. 000710597 650_0 $$aSlavery$$zUnited States$$xJustification. 000710597 650_0 $$aPlantation life$$zUnited States. 000710597 650_0 $$aRacism in popular culture$$zUnited States$$xHistory. 000710597 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aThompson, Katrina Dyonne.$$tRing shout, wheel about.$$dUrbana : University of Illinois Press, 2014$$z9780252038259$$z9780252079832$$w(DLC) 2013032131$$w(OCoLC)861676493 000710597 8520_ $$bacq 000710597 85280 $$bebk$$hEbrary 000710597 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=3414368$$zOnline Access 000710597 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:710597$$pGLOBAL_SET 000710597 980__ $$aEBOOK 000710597 980__ $$aBIB 000710597 982__ $$aEbook 000710597 983__ $$aOnline
