内容説明

Julie Dash wrote and directed "Daughters of the Dust", the first nationally distributed African American feature film to come out of America. The film tells the story of an African American sea-island, or Gullah, family preparing to come to the mainland at the turn of the century. In her visual and lyrical portrayal of the day of their departure, Dash evolves the details of a persisting African culture and the tensions between tradition and assimilation. The book includes Dash's complete screenplay and describes the story of her extraordinary 16-year struggle to complete the project. More than simply a tale of a rising artist, it is the record of an African American woman's determination to tell a story that is both historical and emotionally charged. With an introduction by Toni Cade Bambara, an extended interview with Dash by feminist critic bell hooks, an essay by Greg Tate, Dash's story in her own words, and 16 pages of images from the film by cinematographer Arthur Jafa, this is a book for every admirer of the film and every student of cinema.

内容説明

In the winter of 1992, nearly one hundred years after motion pictures were invented, the first nationally distributed feature by an African American woman was released in the United States. The film tells the story of an African American sea-island family preparing to come to the mainland at the turn of the century. In her richly textured, highly visual, lyrical portrayal of the day of the departure, Julie Dash evokes the details of a persisting African culture and the tensions between tradition and assimilation. Daughters of the Dust: The Making of an African American Woman's Film, which includes Dash's complete screenplay, describes the story of her extraordinary sixteen-year struggle to complete the project.
