In Performing Postracialism, Philip S.S. Howard examines instances of contemporary blackface in Canada and argues that it is more than a simple matter of racial (mis)representation. The book looks at the ostensible humour and dominant conversations around blackface, arguing that they are manifestations of the particular formations of antiblackness in the Canadian nation state and its educational institutions. It posits that the occurrence of blackface in universities is not incidental, and outlines how educational institutions? responses to blackface in Canada rely upon a motivation to protect whiteness. Performing Postracialism draws from focus groups and individual interviews conducted with university students, faculty, administrators, and Black student associations, along with online articles about blackface, to provide the basis for a nuanced examination of the ways that blackface is experienced by Black persons. The book investigates the work done by Black students, faculty, and staff at universities to challenge blackface and the broader campus climate of antiblackness that generates it."--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aBlackface$zCanada 606 $aCollege students, Black$zCanada 606 $aRacism against Black people$zCanada 606 $aRacism in higher education 606 $aSOCIAL SCIENCE / Ethnic Studies / General$2bisacsh 607 $aCanada$xRace relations 607 $aCanada$xRelations raciales 607 $aCanada$2fast 608 $aElectronic books. 610 $aBlack studies. 610 $aCanada. 610 $aantiblackness/anti-Black racism. 610 $ablackface. 610 $ahigher education. 610 $ahumour. 610 $aminstrelsy. 610 $apostracialism. 610 $aracism. 610 $asettler colonialism. 615 0$aBlackface 615 0$aCollege students, Black 615 0$aRacism against Black people 615 0$aRacism in higher education. 615 7$aSOCIAL SCIENCE / Ethnic Studies / General. 676 $a305.896/071 686 $acci1icc$2lacc 700 $aHoward$b Philip S.S.$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$00 712 02$aUniversity of Toronto.$bLibrary,$4fnd$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fnd 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910647293103321 996 $aPerforming Postracialism$93088653 997 $aUNINA
