Your best source of information on early silent animation
is Donald Crafton at the Wisconsin Center for Film/Theater
Research, 6040 Vilas Hall, 821 University Ave., Madison,
WI 53706, phone: (608) 262-9706.  His book may be helpful:
Before Mickey, Cambridge, MA: MIT Press, 1982.
Some films I know of are:
WinsorM McCay's "Little Nemo"--stereotyped African savage
Fleischer Bros.'s "The Chinaman"-_in the Out of the Inkwell series
Also try the Colonel Heeza Liar series, whose jungle explorer
met several stereotyped tribespeople.
