Editorial Reviews
Review
Manthia Diawara's Black American Cinema shows how refreshingly far away from decorous consensus the field of Black cinema study is today, in a varied and provocative montage of opinions, personal histories, position statements, and historical criticism. -- Journal of Communication, Summer 1995
...essays in Black American Cinema make the book a worthy addition to the small shelf of Black cinema criticism. -- Journal of Communication, Summer 1995
