Title: The Adventures of Amos 'n' Andy
Subtitle: A Social History of an American Phenomenon
Description: "Melvin Patrick Ely unveils a tale of America's shifting color line, in which two professional directors of blackface minstrel shows manage to produce a series so rich and complex that it wins admirers ranging from ultra-racists to outspoken racial egalitarians. Eventually, the pair stir further controversy when they bring their show to television.".

"In a preface written especially for this new edition of his acclaimed classic, Ely shows how white and black responses to his Adventures of Amos 'n' Andy tell a revealing story of their own about racial hopes and fears at the turn of the twenty-first century."--BOOK JACKET.
