This expansive three-volume set investigates racial representation in film, providing an authoritative cross-section of the most racially significant films, actors, directors, and movements in American cinematic history. Hollywood has always reflected current American cultural norms and ideas. As such, film provides a window into attitudes about race and ethnicity over the last century. This comprehensive set provides information on hundreds of films chosen based on scholarly consensus of their importance regarding the subject, examining aspects of race and ethnicity in American film through the historical context, themes, and people involved. This three-volume set highlights the most important films and artists of the era, identifying films, actors, or characterizations that were considered racist, were tremendously popular or hugely influential, attempted to be progressive, or some combination thereof. Readers will not only learn basic information about each subject but also be able to contextualize it culturally, historically, and in terms of its reception to understand what average moviegoers thought about the subject at the time of its popularityand grasp how the subject is perceived now through the lens of history.

This reference work couldn't have come at a better time. Its examination of race and racism on screen, from the film industry's early days to the present, provides historical and cultural context for our current national discussion. . . . These three volumes will be a welcome addition to collections that serve high school and college students as well as individual film buffs and independent scholars. * Booklist * High school and college students, general readers, and film enthusiasts interested in the role of race in U.S. cinema will find this exceptional and well-organized work indispensable. * Library Journal, Starred Review * The essays are consistently readable, and the spectrum of film history covered is impressive. Considering the current political climate and racial tensions that divide the U.S., the set seems an apropos addition to most library collections. North American filmmakers are making progress but, as these essays demonstrate, they still have a long ways to go. Summing Up: Highly recommended. All libraries. All levels. * Choice * Overall, however, the scope and quality of entries make for an intelligent and thought-provoking resource. . . . Highly recommended for all film collections. * ARBAonline *
