Abstract
The integrated musical of the late 1940s (led by MGM) often excluded minority performers in an attempt to create a utopian environment. In contrast, Fox's nonintegrated musicals of the early 1940s negotiated a space for these performers, which, while problematic, created opportunities for individual agency.
