The Book Of Michael
from Centering Yourself: The Paradox Of The Black Bourgeoisie
One of the more controversial musicals to the black community is The Book Of Mormon. Many call it a modern day minstrel show that should be taken out of Broadway. Michael and Mtume Gant (film professor at purchase) go through the origins and history of the minstrel show. They also define in their own words what a minstrel show is to them, & the more insidious, subtle ways minstrelsy can appear in the modern day.
