The Showman and the Slave

- Race, Death, and Memory in Barnum's America

af Benjamin Reiss
The Showman and the Slave af Benjamin Reiss
Bag om The Showman and the Slave

Reiss uses P. T. Barnum's Joice Heth hoax to examine the race relations in the antebellum North. Barnum's first exhibit as a showman, Heth was an enslaved woman said to be the 161-year-old former nurse of the infant George Washington. The newly emerging commercial press turned her act into one of the first media spectacles in American history.
