Jump Jim Crow : Lost Plays, Lyrics, And Street Prose Of The First Atlantic Popular Culture

Attribution
W.T. Lhamon, Jr
Publication Details
Book, Harvard University Press, 2003
Description
Jump Jim Crow brings together for the first time the plays and songs performed in this guise and reveals how these texts code the complex use and abuse of blackness that has characterized American culture ever since Jim Crow’s first appearance. His reading shows us how these plays built a public blackness, but also how they engaged a disaffected white audience, who found in Jim Crow’s sass and wit and madcap dancing an expression of rebellion and resistance against the oppression and confinement suffered by ordinary people of all colors in antebellum America and early Victorian England.

The Imagined Civil War : Popular Literature Of The North & South, 1861-1865

Attribution
Alice Fahs
Publication Details
Book, University of North Carolina Press, 2001
Description
In this groundbreaking work of cultural history, Alice Fahs explores a little-known and fascinating side of the Civil War–the outpouring of popular literature inspired by the conflict. Instead of narrowly portraying the Civil War as a clash between two great, white armies, popular literature offered a wide range of representations of the conflict and helped shape new modes of imagining the relationships of diverse individuals to the nation.
