Excerpt
Migrating to the Movies provides a fascinating, multifaceted account of the representation of Black people in preclassical cinema, the way cinema impacted and was impacted by Black life, Black viewers, and Black producers, and the way cinema reflected and was affected by the state of race relations during its time. The analysis is thorough and provides a deep understanding of an underacknowledged aspect of Black life and history.
