Abstract:
Cogently drawing upon an impressive array of primary sources and scholarly studies of American life and literature, drama, material culture, cartoon art, advertising, and popular entertainment from minstrel shows through motion pictures, radio, and television, Joseph Boskin's Sambo examines the image in all its manifestations, brilliantly analyzing the reasons for its popularity and its ultimate unraveling.
