The Black Child Star.This book explores cultural conceptions of the child and the cinematic absence of black children from contemporary Hollywood film. Debbie Olson argues that within the discourse of children’s studies and film scholarship in relation to the conception of “the child,” there is often little to no distinction among children by race—the “child” is most often discussed as a universal entity, as the embodiment of all things not adult, not (sexually) corrupt. Discussions about children of color among scholars often take place within contexts such as crime, drugs, urbanization, poverty, or lack of education that tend to reinforce historically stereotypical beliefs about African Americans. Olson looks at historical conceptions of childhood within scholarly discourse, the child character in popular film and what space the black child (both African and African American) occupies within that ideal.Black people in motion picturesChildren in motion picturesMotion picturesSocial aspectsRacism in motion picturesChildren, Black, in artBlack people in motion pictures.Children in motion pictures.Motion picturesSocial aspects.Racism in motion pictures.Children, Black, in art.791.430973Olson Debbieauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut982603MiFhGGMiFhGGBOOK9910255360203321Black Children in Hollywood Cinema2242486UNINA
