Black Stereotypes in Popular Series Fiction, 1851-1955
Author: Bernard A. DrewPublisher: McFarland

Pages : 291
Book Description
Even well-meaning fiction writers of the late Jim Crow era (1900-1955) perpetuated racial stereotypes in their depiction of black characters. From 1918 to 1952, Octavus Roy Cohen turned out a remarkable 360 short stories featuring Florian Slappey and the schemers, romancers and ditzes of Birmingham's Darktown for The Saturday Evening Post and other publications. Cohen said, "I received a great deal of mail from Negroes and I have never found any resentment from a one of them." The black readership had to be satisfied with any black presence in the popular literature of the day. The best known white writers of black characters included Booth Tarkington (Herman and Verman in the Penrod books), Irvin S. Cobb (Judge Priest's houseman Jeff Poindexter), Roark Bradford (Widow Duck, the plantation matriarch), Hugh Wiley (Wildcat Marsden, the war veteran who traveled the country in the company of his goat) and Charles Correll and Freeman Gosden (radio's Amos 'n' Andy). These writers deservedly declined in the civil rights era, but left a curious legacy that deserves examination. This book, focusing on authors of series fiction and particularly of humorous stories, profiles 29 writers and their black characters in detail, with brief entries covering 72 others.

Book Description
Excerpt from Black Cameos In our own day, the untutored Negro of the South possesses this charm of inherent crea tive ability to an astonishing degree. He is wonderfully gifted musically, and fairly tingles with poetic tendencies; unconsciously expres sing his most commonplace thought in the direct, rhythmic language of true poetry. Crude, semi-barbarous poetry, if you will, but savoring of the real, original essence. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
