Publisher's Note Mammy and Uncle Mose examines the production and consumption of black collectables and memorabilia from the 1880s to the late 1950s. Black collectibles - objects made in or with the image of a black person - were everyday items such as advertising cards, housewares (salt and pepper shakers, cookie jars, spoon rests, etc.), toys and games, postcards, souvenirs, and decorative knick-knacks.
Industry Reviews The objects, displayed in color photos, are the antithesis of politically correct and shock as thoroughly as do holocaust photos. Goings (history, Florida Atlantic U.) grabs hold of a sabre- tooth'd dimension of popular culture. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or. Reference & Research Book News
