Here's an article on the Black and White Minstrel Show.
I'll have a dig around but this is the article on Minstrels from The Oxford Companion to Black British History (2007) which is concise but covers the whole history.
Worth also catching Warwick Davis' episode of How Do You Think You Are? He was delighted to discover he was from a long line of entertainers but horrified to find out some were minstrels. So they gave him a potted history of the tradition.
