Book Synopsis Slavery and Sentiment on the American Stage, 1787-1861 by : Heather S. Nathans
Book excerpt: For almost a hundred years before Uncle Tom's Cabin burst on to the scene in 1852, the American theatre struggled to represent the evils of slavery. Slavery and Sentiment examines how both black and white Americans used the theatre to fight negative stereotypes of African Americans in the United States.
