The Last "Darky": Bert Williams, Black-on-Black Minstrelsy, and the African Diaspora Paperback - 2006
by Louis Chude-Sokei
"The Last "Darky"" establishes the late 19th- and early 20th-century comedian Bert Williams, an Afro-Caribbean who often performed in blackface, as central to the development of a global black modernism centered in Harlem's Renaissance.
From the rear cover
"With theoretical verve and archival aplomb, Louis Chude-Sokei explores an open secret that we too often have preferred to ignore: the central role of black minstrelsy in the origins of the Harlem Renaissance. Starting with the simple fact of Bert Williams's Caribbean origins, he finds the multiple layers of masquerade in any performance of 'race.' A timely, often profound portrait of the dynamics of intraracial difference in diaspora."--Brent Hayes Edwards, author of "The Practice of Diaspora "
