Blackface

Reprodukcija postera za minstrel show Williama H. Westa iz 1900. godine koji je originalno izdala kompanija Strobridge Litho Co., a koji pokazuje transformaciju od bijelca u "crnca".

Blackface je izraz koji na engleskom doslovno znači "crno lice", a pod kojim se podrazumijeva kazališna šminka koja za svrhu ima izvođača "transformirati" u karikirani i stereotipni lik crnca. Blackface je svoj karakteristični oblik dobila u minstrel šouima u SAD u 19. vijeku, a koristili su je kako bijeli tako i crni izvođači. S vremenom je postala simbol rasističkih predrasuda te se od druge polovice 20. vijeka njeno korištenje smatra kontroverznim.
