Whew! This is not a book to be read in one sitting. This is 433 pages chock-full of the history of Black actors/actresses in film. From the humble beginnings of actor James B. Lowe in Uncle Tom's Cabin to the current mass appeal of Samuel L. Jackson and Morgan Freeman, Bogle takes us on an wonderfully detailed journey that chronicles the contributions of Black actors/actresses in film. Of course, Bogle's book includes those well-known films from the bygone era, but he also notes those little ... Read More

Have you ever seen Green Pastures, or Hallelujiah, or any of the other Studio made films of the Golden Age that feature all black casts?
I have.
Have you ever seen any of the Independent Films with all black casts made during the same period, but only seen in theatres catering to black audiences?
I have, sadly, not.

Forget the familiar actors of the 80's to the present day, even the great ones, this book will ... Read More

I strongly encourage the true depiction of all early cinematic protrayals of African-Americans, and other non-white categories as they were. We have to let our younger generations of future stars know that some roles have a negative effect and dont show us "Do Justice". This is why we need more Cinematic Historians and Oscar Micheax & Spike Lee role models...

This is perhaps the GREATEST book accounting the plight of Blacks in film. I read this book for a class titled "Blacks in the Electronic Media" during undergrad. After reading this book and watching television, I honestly felt as if I were let out of the "Matrix." To this day, I can not watch television and not be critical of whats being aired. These charatcters are very visible today at this very moment. If you want a deep experience and to fully understand whats on the television and the movie ... Read More

Bigoted and racist title for a book about talented blacks, their deserving of a more honorable title since they were called these racist nicknames all their lives and had to be these stereotypes to show their talent, but he can get away with naming a book as he has this one because he's Black, I'm sure if a white did the same, the NAACP will jump on him. Bogle suppose to lift Blacks up not put them down.
Here's a long but informative review!
Naturally since Bogle is the only one writing ... Read More
