The seminal essays in this collection provide a variety of perspectives on black representation and questions of racial authenticity in mainstream as well as African American independence cinema. Among the topics discussed are racial stereotypes, critiques of that discourse, important directors such as Haile Gerima and Charles Burnett, and black, gay and lesbian film and video.
