Description

This classic study of black images in American motion pictures, this year enjoys its thirtieth anniversary of continuous publication through four editions, and is now available in a special hardcover gift edition, having sold over 200,000 copies in paperback. It includes the entire 20th century through black images in film, from the silent era to the unequaled rise of the new African American cinema and stars of today. From Gone with the Wind and Carmen Jones to Shaft, Do the Right Thing, and Bamboozled, Donald Bogle reveals the way the image of blacks in American cinema has changed--and also the shocking way in which it has often remained the same. Black beginnings: from Uncle Tom's Cabin to The Birth of a Nation -- Into the 1920s: the jesters -- The 1930s: the servants -- The Interlude: black-market cinema -- The 1940s: the entertainers, the New Negroes, and the problem people -- The 1950s: black stars -- The 1960s: problem people into militants -- The 1970s: bucks and a black movie boom -- The 1980s: black superstars and the era of tan -- The 1990s: new stars, new filmmakers, and a new African American cinema --
