Description
Struggles for Representation: African American Documentary Film and Video examines over 300 non-fiction films by more than 150 African American filmmakers. This collection includes an extensive filmography, bibliography, and excerpts from interviews with the filmmakers themselves. In eleven original essays, contributors explore the scope of these documentaries, which offer unique perspectives on the lives of black Americans. These works in film, video, and new electronic media provide valuable insights into American life, often through searing and indelible portrayals of significant events and individuals. The common thread among these films is the "struggle for representation," a desire to convey black life in ways that counter distorted representations found in mainstream media.
