Abstract

Tracing the intranational and transnational itineraries of the Georgia Minstrels and Charles B. Hicks recuperates forgotten histories of Black minstrelsy. Doing so offers several correctives to the historiography of these figures by demonstrating the significant role that these artists played in shaping Black minstrelsy as a vital space for Black performance.
