Description

In 1915, American filmmaker D. W. Griffith released a film that went on to become one of the most controversial of all time.

Over a century later, The Birth of a Nation continues to stimulate debate on the relationship between Hollywood and racism.

This volume reveals new perspectives on Griffith’s film across ten original chapters, re-considering it as text, historical milestone and influence.

The volume also includes a helpful timeline that lists key publications and events in Birth’s ongoing history, revealing the rich and stimulating discourse on its art, its cultural impact and its ethical dimensions. -- .
