The Black Child Star. 330 $aThis 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. 606 $aMotion pictures, American 606 $aEthnology$zAmerica 606 $aCulture 606 $aAfrican Americans 606 $aYouth$xSocial life and customs 606 $aCommunication 606 $aAmerican Film and TV 606 $aAmerican Culture 606 $aAfrican American Culture 606 $aYouth Culture 606 $aMedia and Communication 615 0$aMotion pictures, American. 615 0$aEthnology 615 0$aCulture. 615 0$aAfrican Americans. 615 0$aYouth$xSocial life and customs. 615 0$aCommunication. 615 14$aAmerican Film and TV. 615 24$aAmerican Culture. 615 24$aAfrican American Culture. 615 24$aYouth Culture. 615 24$aMedia and Communication. 676 $a791.430973 700 $aOlson$b Debbie$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0982603 801 0$bMiFhGG 801 1$bMiFhGG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255360203321 996 $aBlack Children in Hollywood Cinema$92242486 997 $aUNINA
