Review: Blackface

Blackface by Ayanna Thompson
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Clear and well-researched study on Blackface, a timely book on a tradition which still sadly insinuates society and one I only had a limited background of knowledge to.

There were some shifts in tone throughout the book, shifting from more dry histories to a more sarky style which didn't always work for me. Found Thompson's argument regarding "white innocence" particularly compelling and these sections were strongest in the book.
