Editorial Reviews

Review

"Ed Guerrero writes broadly and insightfully about the creation and domination of the black image in commerical cinema. This book is a must-read for anyone wishing to develop an understanding of black films and filmmaking in the U.S." Julie Dash (film-maker -Daughters of the Dust (1991))

From the Inside Flap

"This is a rich and energetic explication of a Spike Lee classic. The social, political, economic, and filmic background needed to fully appreciate Do the Right Thing are all here. Guerrero is to be congratulated on a triumphant tour of the inner world of Spike Lee's filmmaking."--Houston A. Baker, Jr., Duke University
