negrophilia
Language: English
Part of speech: noun
Forms: form: Negrophilia

text: If, as one historian has argued, "Minstrelsy is negrophobia staged as negrophilia, or vice versa, depending on the respective weight of the fear or attraction" (Ostendorf, 81), the hypermasculinized buck of Birth of a Nation and the undermasculinized boy of The Jazz Singer sustain minstrel conventions, setting both negrophobia and negrophilia in the context of the Oedipal dilemma with its attendant anxieties about successful maturation into white manhood.

text: ‘But,’ says Gilroy, ‘negrophilia and negrophobia can be intertwined. [Colin] MacInnes seems to have imprisoned black people in his exotic conceptions of their blackness. […]’
ref: 2007 April 14, Ed Vulliamy, quoting Paul Gilroy, “Absolute MacInnes”, in The Guardian:
text: However the particular entry of the plantation revues Dover Street to Dixie (1923) and The Rainbow (1923) and The Blackbirds series (1926) into the West End at this time signalled a different kind of crossover and a new contradictory investment in the black persona through primitivism and negrophilia. In 'Blackbirds' we find a British national ideology re-asserting a 'particular order' through a revisionist, romanticised fantasy of black culture expressed as primitivism.

text: […]; by the notion that jazz provided otherwise inaccessible timbral resources, in keeping with Varèse's words about Charlie Parker; and by a negrophilic conflation of diverse African diasporic traditions, which dovetailed with Varèse's long-standing attraction both to Latin American sounds and to the trope of the New World “noble savage.
