Black American Cinema is a collection of criticism on Black American cinema. From the pioneering work of Oscar Micheaux and Wallace Thurman to the Hollywood success of Spike Lee, Black American filmmakers have played a remarkable role in the development of the American film, both independent and mainstream.
This volume examines the work of early Black filmmakers and considers the relationship between Black American filmmakers and filmmakers from the diaspora, the nature of Black film aesthetics, the artist's place within the community, and the representation of a Black imaginary. It also analyzes the construction of Black sexuality on screen, the role of Black women in independent cinema, and the specific question of Black female spectatorship.
