This review is from: Daughters of the Dust: The Making of an African American Woman's Film (Paperback)
This book is the companion to the movie Daughters of the Dust. Or the other way around. I have loved the moviw and the book since they both came out. By reading the book you get a deeper understanding of the struggle between old and new. The movie shows it as well, but the book allows you to spend more time on the specifice. I was glad I was able to find it again.

This review is from: Daughters of the Dust: The Making of an African American Woman's Film (Paperback)
Daughters of the Dust was a fascinating movie about the struggles of a female-headed, multigenerational family moving to the American mainland. It was made in fits and starts due to continual fundraising for the movie that Dash had to do. This book documents getting the movie made. It has a good section in which Dash and cultural critic bell hooks discuss the symbolisms in the film. Given that even Spike Lee has trouble raising money for his films, it is essential that incipient black filmmakers get advice on what they'r getting into. In that way, this book is an important first tool. Those majoring in film studies, feminist studies, or Afro-American studies will want to have this book.
