The Minstrel Legacy: African American English and the Historical Construction of Black Identities in Entertainment

Linguists have long been aware that the language scripted for ethnic roles in the media has been manipulated for a variety of purposes ranging from the construction of character authenticity to flagrant ridicule. This paper provides a brief overview of the history of African American roles in the entertainment industry from minstrel shows to present-day films. I am particularly interested in looking at the practice of distorting African American English as an historical artifact which is commonplace in the entertainment industry today. Dialogue which is clearly meant as an imitation of African American English still results in the construction of an ethnic stereotype that serves as a reflection of European American attitudes regarding African Americans. As a result, such depictions provide non-Black acculturated people with a perception of Blackness that is founded in inaccuracies and derision but has been portrayed as authentic, leaving Black life open to continual mimicry

Arbitration in the Entertainment Industry

The entertainment industry is driven by contractual agreements between actors, film studios, and countless behind-the-scenes players. When disputes inevitably arise, it is often within the parties’ best interests to resolve the issues quickly and privately, without garnering media attention. Arbitration provides disputants this avenue and it is why binding arbitration clauses are so prevalent within the industry. Arbitration clauses within a contract state that, should an issue arise between the parties, the parties will submit the dispute to arbitration. Arbitration allows for the parties to select an arbitrator, with a facilitator overseeing the negotiation, resulting in a legally binding outcome. Contrary to litigation producing information in the public record, arbitration ensures that the parties can reach an agreement confidentially and without having to incur exuberant attorneys’ fees. Additionally, the entertainment industry can oftentimes involve complex matters that an arbitrator with expertise in entertainment issues would uniquely be able to resolve, more so than a judge who lacks such knowledge. Furthermore, parties within the entertainment industry often have ongoing relationships, both within the project from which the dispute arose and beyond. Resolving disputes as quickly and efficiently as possible, which arbitration accomplishes, maximizes the chances of these relationships continuing peacefully and lucratively.
