5.0 out of 5 stars
black novelist as white racist
Joseph Young has done a thorough study of extant writings of Oscar Micheau. His research goes to time of micheau's birth to his death. It is accurate in its depiction because it goes to what Mr. micheau has written down on paper-in the form of a number of Novels,what he did as a moviemaker has already been explored by others but this book should be read before a review...

Joseph Young has done a thorough study of extant writings of Oscar Micheau. His research goes to time of micheau's birth to his death. It is accurate in its depiction because it goes to what Mr. micheau has written down on paper-in the form of a number of Novels,what he did as a moviemaker has already been explored by others but this book should be read before a review of his films because they provide a context as to who the man micheau is and how he felt about black people as a whole. Apparently Mr. Micheau believed in the inferiority of Black people and the superiority of caucasions because his Novels stess the points over and over. Mr. Micheau was of limited understanding and his interpretation of black people would be detrimental to other black people of limited learning,if they read his literature. Mr. Young did his job in an unbiased manner
