"Vaudeville Indians" on Global Circuits, 1880s-1930s
«“Bold’s work sets a high standard for both histories of vaudeville and the ways in which Indigenous performers shaped it.”—Cecilia Morgan, Histoire sociale/Social History
Winner of the Thomas J. Lyon Book Award, sponsored by the Western Literature Association
2022 George Freedley Memorial Award Finalist, sponsored by the Theatre Library Association
“An exceptional exploration of Aboriginal people in show business from the 1880s to the 1930s. It takes on the thorny question of just what ‘Indianness’ was and how it was constructed, deconstructed, and reconstructed anew.”—Thomas King, author of The Inconvenient Indian
“A tour-de-force of vivid storytelling and discovery. Bold combines dense archival research with rich analysis that draws from her bountiful conversations with contemporary artists and vaudeville performers’ families.”—John Troutman, author of Kīkā Kila
“A dramatic and exquisite examination of material culture that unlocks clues into the performers’ own sense of self.”—Coll Thrush, University of British Columbia
