It explores the growth of discrimination as filmmakers became more and more intrigued with myths of the Old South.Set against the backdrop of the black struggle in society, Slow Fade to Black is the definitive history of African-American accomplishment in film--both before and behind the camera--from the earliest movies through World War II. As he records the changing attitudes toward African-Americans both in Hollywood and the nation at large, Cripps explores the growth of discrimination as filmmakers became more and more intrigued with myths of the Old South: the "lost cause" aspect of the Civil War, the stately mansions and gracious ladies of the antebellum South, the "happy" slaves singing in the fields. Cripps shows how these characterizations culminated in the blatantly racist attitudes of Griffith's The Birth of a Nation, and how this film inspired the N.A.A.C.P. to campaign vigorously--and successfully--for change. While the period of the 1920's to 1940's was one replete with Hollywood stereotypes (blacks most often appeared as domestics or "natives," or were portrayed in shiftless, cowardly "Stepin Fetchit" roles), there was also an attempt at independent black production--on the whole unsuccessful. But with the coming of World War II, increasing pressures for a wider use of blacks in films, and calls for more equitable treatment, African-Americans did begin to receive more sympathetic roles, such as that of Sam, the piano player in the 1942 classic Casablanca. A lively, thorough history of African-Americans in the movies, Slow Fade to Black is also a perceptive social commentary on evolving racial attitudes in this country during the first four decades of the twentieth century.African Americans in motion picturesAfrican Americans in the motion picture industryElectronic books.African Americans in motion pictures.African Americans in the motion picture industry.791.43/028/0922Cripps Thomas879863MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910449711703321Slow fade to black1964709UNINA02895nam0 2200469 i 450 VAN005364320240202025106.370978-08-987145-4-820060928d2000 |0itac50 baengUS|||| |||||Matrix analysis and applied linear algebraCarl MeyerPhiladelphiaSIAMc2000XII, 718 p.25 cm1 CD-ROM1 v.
