Produktbeschreibung

This volume examines race filmmaking from numerous perspectives. By reanimating a critical but neglected period of early cinema-the years between the turn-of-the-century and 1930, the end of the silent film era-it provides a fascinating look at the efforts of early race film pioneers and offers a vibrant portrait of race and racial representation in American film and culture.
