Produktbeschreibung

"Everett's fine book makes an important contribution to our understanding of black cinema, from production to journalism and criticism, as a resistance practice representing every orientation of black culture, from the popular to the political and aesthetic. This one is 'must' reading for all interested in black cinema, its issues, and its critical discourse."--Ed Guerrero, New York University
