Summary:
A group of scholars, critics, intellectuals, and artists examine and respond to the contemporary portrayals of Blacks in films. Using the 2012 release of the film Django Unchained as the focal point of much of the discussion, these essays and reviews provide a critical perspective on the challenges facing filmmakers and
actors
when confronted with issues on race and the historical portrayal of African American characters. Reed also addresses the
Black
community's perceptiveness as discerning and responsible consumers of film, theatre, art, and music.
