Summary
Details

""Slim Jim and the Hoodoo: A Negro Farce in one act, for Five Male Characters"" by Thomas Barnes, offers a glimpse into early 20th-century African American dramatic traditions. This one-act play, intended for five male characters, presents a farcical narrative rooted in the cultural context of its time. Barnes' work provides a unique perspective on the representation of African American characters in early American theater, reflecting the societal attitudes and performance styles prevalent during the period.

This play is a valuable resource for students and scholars interested in the history of African American drama, minstrelsy, and the evolution of American theatrical forms. It offers insights into the challenges and creative expressions of African American playwrights and performers in a changing cultural landscape.
