Subject
The commercialization of the mammy stereotype through the pancake brand entitled Aunt Jemima
Description
In 1893, Aunt Jemima pancake mix first debuted. She was presented as a traditional mammy figure-the matronly, single black woman, donning an apron and a full head bandana. Aunt Jemima had a facial expression and advertising captions that expressed her happily willing to serve her plantation family a breakfast of comfort foods complete with delicious pancakes.
