Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book addresses the often-overlooked history of Black filmmaking and exhibition pre-civil rights era. From the early days of cinema to just before the pivotal Brown v. Board of Education case, author explores how early pioneers and independent Black filmmakers found creative ways to portray Black life and culture while largely excluded from the mainstream film industry. In addition to discussing the work of Oscar Micheaux, considered the most prolific African American filmmaker of the first half of the 20th century, the book examines the many challenges and societal obstacles faced by these early Black filmmakers, including censorship, lack of funding, and the complexities of working within a segregated society. The book highlights landmark films such as "The Birth of a Race" (1918) and "The Emperor Jones" (1933), demonstrating their importance in shaping the representation of Blackness in American cinema and contributing to the development of a distinct Black film aesthetic.
