Blackface - instances in which non-Black persons temporarily darken
their skin with make-up to impersonate Black people, usually for
fun, and frequently in educational contexts - constitutes a
postracialist pedagogy that propagates antiblack logics. In
Performing Postracialism, Philip S.S. Howard examines instances of
contemporary blackface in Canada and argues that it is more than a
simple matter of racial (mis)representation. The book looks at the
ostensible humour and dominant conversations around blackface,
arguing that they are manifestations of the particular formations
of antiblackness in the Canadian nation state and its educational
institutions. It posits that the occurrence of blackface in
universities is not incidental, and outlines how educational
institutions' responses to blackface in Canada rely upon a
motivation to protect whiteness. Performing Postracialism draws
from focus groups and individual interviews conducted with
university students, faculty, administrators, and Black student
associations, along with online articles about blackface, to
provide the basis for a nuanced examination of the ways that
blackface is experienced by Black persons. The book investigates
the work done by Black students, faculty, and staff at universities
to challenge blackface and the broader campus climate of
antiblackness that generates it.
