"African American Cinema through Black Lives Consciousness uses critical race theory
to discuss American films that embrace contemporary issues of race, sexuality, class,
and gender. Its linear history chronicles black-oriented narrative film from post-World
War II through the presidential administration of Barack Obama. Editor Mark A. Reid
has assembled a stellar list of contributors who approach their film analyses as an
intersectional practice that combines queer theory, feminism/womanism, and class analytical
strategies alongside conventional film history and theory. Taken together, the essays
invigorate a "Black Lives Consciousness," which speaks to the value of black bodies
that might be traumatized and those bodies that are coming into being-ness through
intersectional theoretical analysis and everyday activism. The volume includes essays
such as Gerald R. Butters's, 'Blaxploitation Film,' which charts the genre and its
uses of violence, sex, and misogyny to provoke a realization of other philosophical
and sociopolitical themes that concern intersectional praxis. Dan Flory's 'African-American
Film Noir' explains the intertextual-fictional and socio-ecological-dynamics of black
action films. Melba J. Boyd's essay, ''Who's that Nigga on that Nag?': Django Unchained
and the Return of the Blaxploitation Hero,' argues that the film provides cultural
and historical insight, 'signifies' on blackface stereotypes, and chastises Hollywood
cinema's misrepresentation of slavery. African American Cinema through Black Lives
Consciousness embraces varied social experiences within a cinematic Black Lives Consciousness
intersectionality. The interdisciplinary quality of the anthology makes it approachable
to students and scholars of fields ranging from film to culture to African American
studies alike"--Publisher's description
