Thursday Afternoon Blackface Legacies Christopher Smith (Texas Tech University), Chair Peau blanche, masques noirs: Operatic Blackface in Colonial Haiti Henry Stoll (Harvard University) There was a time in which Haiti artistically, economically, and politically fulfilled the colonial dream of a white man’s paradise, the so-called “Pearl of the Antilles.” Known then by its colonial name, Saint-Domingue stood the richest of all French possessions, and its wealth allowed colonists to import—along with thousands of African laborers—France’s finest food, fashion, and art. Several newspapers of the day, the Gazette de Saint Domingue (1764, 171), the Avis divers et petites affiches américaines (1764–65), and the Affiches américaines (1766–1), enumerate upcoming performances at Saint-Domingue’s many venues, providing a compendium of pre- revolutionary artistic activity.
