Beskrivning

This book explores cultural conceptions of the child and the cinematic absence of black children from contemporary Hollywood film. 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.
