      The self-presentation of peoples has found expression in various stereotypes, institutions and images. Thus, the Canadians have stylized themselves as collective and futile heroes with friendly relationships to First Nations People. In this respect, diffidence about their own achievements, failed revolutions, imperialism, multiculturalism and the problem with their own identity are part of a reigning discourse of self-definition which excludes all those not fitting this definition. In the book, Marc A. Bauch discusses the “discourse of Canadianness” on the basis of English-Canadian dramas written in 1967 and onwards.

      The minstrel show emerged in the 1840s as a unique form of entertainment, featuring melodies inspired by enslaved individuals and comedic performances by white actors in blackface. Central to these shows was the master of ceremonies, Mr. Interlocutor, accompanied by two endmen, Mr. Bones and Mr. Tambo, who engaged in humor that often mocked the lives of enslaved people. This document explores the cultural and historical significance of minstrel shows within American literature and society.
