This classic study of black images in American motion pictures has once again been completely revised and updated. It includes new sections on the end of the 1980s plus a chapter devoted to the unequaled rise of the new African American cinema and stars of the 1990s. Donald Bogie reveals the way in which the image of blacks in American movies has changed--and also the shocking way in which it has remained the same.
