BLACKS IN FILMS - By Jim Pines - Hardback Book | |
| |
ISBN: 0289703263 | £16.00

| |
| The history of black in the American film is a controversial one. For most part it is a history of injurious stereotyping and humiliating images. The story starts as early as 1894, with Thomas Edison's Kinetoscope movies and ends with the 1970's movies Shaft and Cleopatra Jones. Pines treats all aspects of this fascinating story discussing, for example, the ways in which films create racial images, as well as the various elements cinema employs to create racial myths. His survey ends with a discussion of the 'blaxploitation' movies playing a major role in the survival of Hollywood but also remarks on the almost total absence of sensitive black characters who express genuine regard for other black characters.
