excellent
I really enjoy the way James writes!
Bought this as a gift for my brother. Fast shipping, great quality and he LOVES it.
This is bright light, beaming into some of the most hidden places in America and American history with supreme personal honesty and recall. For anyone who takes film seriously as a - potentially - civilizing medium, this book is incandescent.
One of the preeminent writers of the Harlem Renaissance and Black literature in general, this was my first foray into James Baldwin territory. Occasionally, people laud over certain people because they produce a lot as opposed to producing productive work. Now I understand Mr. Baldwin's acclaim and celebration. He is a genius! And I truly enjoyed how he intertwines anecdotes from his personal life into breaking down the impact of media images on our consciousness. His work was so poignant in my life that it prompted me to name my media analysis blog after this books namesake. Mr. Baldwin has earned rightful earned his reputation as one of the greatest writers of his time and beyond.
An interesting and insightful view of racism in older movies . FYI--Historical commentary as opposed to contemporary film criticism.
This is a short read, but keep in mind it is a critical essay on certain classic movies. Baldwin gives a non bias sharp approach to each and every venue. It is a masterpiece and should be read as such.
