An authoritative and valuable resource for students and scholars of
film animation and African-American history, film buffs, and casual
readers. It is the first and only book to detail the history of
black images in animated cartoons. Using advertisements, quotes
from producers, newspaper reviews, and other sources, Sampson
traces stereotypical black images through their transition from the
first newspaper comic strips in the late 1890s, to their inclusion
in the first silent theatrical cartoons, through the peak of their
popularity in 1930s musical cartoons, to their gradual decline in
the 1960s. He provides detailed storylines with dialogue, revealing
the extensive use of negative caricatures of African Americans.
Sampson devotes chapters to cartoon series starring black
characters; cartoons burlesquing life on the old slave plantation
with "happy" slaves Uncle Tom and Topsy; depictions of the African
safari that include the white hunter, his devoted servant, and
bloodthirsty black cannibals; and cartoons featuring the music and
the widely popular entertainment style of famous 1930s black stars
including Cab Calloway, Louis Armstrong, and Fats Waller. That's
Enough Folks includes many rare, previously unpublished
illustrations and original animation stills and an appendix listing
cartoon titles with black characters along with brief descriptions
of gags in these cartoons.
