揭示了许多曾经著名但现在被忽视的19世纪末和20世纪初的黑人音乐剧历史人物。
黑色的声音在舞台上收集了十个不同的案例研究，十九世纪和二十世纪初的非裔美国歌手和演员-这些名字在很大程度上被排除在我们的一般音乐历史书籍之外-他们的生活表演解决了种族问题，身份、音乐表达和观众接受。重新发现，记住和庆祝黑人艺人的公共事业，这些黑人艺人在一个由有害的刻板印象所主导的时期工作，这说明了他们的成就仍然值得我们关注。尽管这本书的大部分内容都是针对在minstrelsy之外工作的相对晦涩的人物，例如Tom Wiggins，Sissieretta Jones，Bob Cole，wil Marion Cook等，最后一章考察了保罗·罗伯逊的职业生涯(1898-1976)-可以说是二十世纪舞台上最突出的黑人声音-已经陷入了部分阴影之下。Riis为这些先锋表演者提供了新的见解，将他们的生活和成就恢复到丰富的美国音乐挂毯中。

Black Voices on Stage Recovering African American Performances, 1850–1940

Brings to light many once famous but now overlooked figures of Black musical theater history from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
Black Voices on Stage collects ten diverse case studies of nineteenth-century and early twentieth-century African American singers and actors—names that have been largely left out of our general music history books—whose lives and performances address questions of race, identity, musical expression, and audience reception. Rediscovering, remembering, and celebrating the public careers of Black entertainers who worked in a period dominated by pernicious stereotypes of blackface minstrelsy illustrates how their achievements still deserve our attention. Although most of the book is devoted to relatively obscure figures who worked outside of minstrelsy, such as Tom Wiggins, Sissieretta Jones, Bob Cole, Will Marion Cook, and others, a final chapter examines how even the career of Paul Robeson (1898–1976)—arguably the most prominent Black voice on stage in the twentieth century—has fallen under a partial shadow. Riis offers new insights into these pioneering performers, restoring their lives and achievements to the rich tapestry of American music.
