Résumé anglais |
Throughout the Thirties, the Amos "n" Andy radio series was authored and played by Cornell and Gosden, two white showmen who impersonated Black characters from the Chicago South Side ghetto. Derived from the stereotypes of the minstrel and the Zip Coon, Amos, Andy and their entourage thus provided the public a popular urban comedy of manners. Such a portrayal of life in the Depression was denounced as racist by the NAACP, but most listeners, whether white or black, saw a burlesque métaphore of the years of crisis in the makeshift attitude of the two comic underdogs.
