The Witch's Flight

The Cinematic, the Black Femme, and the Image of Common Sense

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Contends that cinema and cinematic processes had a profound significance for twentieth-century anti-capitalist Black liberation movements based in the United States. The author finds hidden within the histories and logics generated by US-based struggles against racism, sexism, and homophobia, the Black femme's invisible, affective labour.
