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 $aBlack people in motion pictures 606 $aChildren in motion pictures 606 $aMotion pictures$xSocial aspects 606 $aRacism in motion pictures 606 $aChildren, Black, in art 615 0$aBlack people in motion pictures. 615 0$aChildren in motion pictures. 615 0$aMotion pictures$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aRacism in motion pictures. 615 0$aChildren, Black, in art. 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
