Product Information
On March 23, 1849, a man named Henry Brown was nailed into a large wooden postal crate marked "this side up with cane" and mailed from slavery in Richmond, VA, to freedom in Philadelphia, a voyage of two hundred and fifty miles. Twenty-six hours later, he emerged from his box singing a psalm of thanksgiving, and he would never again be a slave. These sentences may sound like the start of an electrifying fictional story, but they are factual and well documented. They are also the only truths that many individuals today know about the man who would later become known as Henry Box Brown. This book excavates fragmentary elements of his story from his time, using archival documents, as Brown made himself a spectacle on abolitionist circuits via his outlandish performance work, and then fell off these same circuits and went on to recreate himself in other guises-as the King of all Mesmerists, as Prof. H. B. Brown, as the African prince, as the actor Henry Brown (playing himself onstage), and as a magician known at times as "Box Brown, the Wizard." In England he sometimes wore the costume of (as one reviewer termed) a "Savage Indian" and would traverse the streets of towns in this guise to drum up an audience for his shows. Brown has lured many an artist into his life story. I hope that by watching and excavating his fascinating transformations, and paying careful attention to his later resurrections, a new group of readers will be mesmerized by his ongoing legacy as an innovative and radical performance artist who is always in flux, and who moves creatively not only through the past, but into our own contemporary moment.

Reviews
Brown's ingenious escape from slavery in Richmond, Virginia, by mailing himself in a wooden postal crate to abolitionists in Philadelphia, was unique and well documented. But that is not the story that most interests the author of this elegant cultural history. Cutter focuses on how Brown turned his experience in slavery into performance art on various tracks in many different locales, [A] fascinating and meticulously researched study....Cutter's refusal to limit the book to biography, cultural history, or theorization of Brown's performances allows her to fill gaps in historical scholarship while challenging the boundaries Brown's lifespan might otherwise place on his innovation. Balancing readability and theoretical engagement, Cutter provides both useful information and insightful interpretations about African Americans' participation in nineteenth-century visual culture while calling attention to intergenerational ties to our own visual and literary landscape.
