Jenna Gibbs explores the world of theatre-related print on both sides of the Atlantic during the American Revolution and the first half of the 19th century, examining debates about the place of black people in Anglo-American cultural space. Gibbs asks whether popular entertainment included themes of freedom, human rights, and slavery as evil. Her findings are unflattering for both the United States and Britain. The British portrayed Africans with sympathy, but also with a sense of racial and cultural superiority. On the American stage, representations of black people were demeaning, patronizing, and ingrained in both blackface burlesque and the idea of “Liberty” personified in the figure of a white goddess.
