Black Women Directors Paperback / softback
by Christina N. Baker
Part of the Quick Takes: Movies and Popular Culture series
Paperback / softback
Description
Black women have long recognized the power of film for storytelling.
For far too long, however, the cultural and historical narratives about film have not accounted for the contributions of Black women directors.
This book remedies this omission by highlighting the trajectory of the culturally significant work of Black women directors in the United States, from the under-examined pioneers of the silent era, to the documentarians who sought to highlight the voices and struggles of Black women, and the contemporary Black women directors in Hollywood. Applying a Black feminist perspective, this book examines the ways that Black women filmmakers have made a way for themselves and their work by resisting the dominant cultural expectations for Black women and for the medium of film, as a whole.
