Description

Oscar Micheaux and His Circle: African-American Filmmaking and Race Cinema of the Silent Era is a comprehensive collection of essays that sheds new light on the life and work of Oscar Micheaux, the most prolific African American filmmaker of the silent period. This important study examines Micheaux's surviving films, his fellow producers of race films, and the cultural activities that surrounded these achievements. The book provides a richly textured portrait of this era, exploring issues such as lynching, miscegenation, peonage, and white supremacy, as well as the relationship between black film and both the stage and the black press. With extensive and accurate filmographies, this collection is a superb reference work that will fascinate scholars in film studies, cultural studies, and African American history alike. Lavishly illustrated with rare photographs, Oscar Micheaux and His Circle offers a fresh perspective on a pivotal moment in cinematic history, making it an essential resource for anyone interested in the subject.
