Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Finally, a comprehensive resource on one of the most neglected areas of cinema studies. Klotman has compiled a visually rich, user-friendly compendium that examines the early history of African American cinema, placing the pioneers and their films within their larger cultural and aesthetic contexts. Informed essays by leading scholars in the field are well supported by a wealth of films stills, excerpts, advertisements, and posters. A must-have for scholars, teachers, and anyone interested in a fascinating and tumultuous period of American history. The twenty-first century does justice to the twentieth, in this truly visionary melding of early cinema and new media technologies."--Frances Gateward, assistant professor of cinema studies, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
