This culturally and politically timely collection examines new
Black films and moving images that have, once again, excited and
possibly shifted the global media landscape. At a moment some
scholars have described as post-post-racial, Black Cinema &
Visual Culture provides new, urgent definitions and theories for
Black cinema and furthers the development of its critical
discourses. Gathering some of the leading scholars and critics in
the field, this book enriches and advances the study of Black film
and media and its social and political implications at a
breakthrough period of expansion in the twenty-first century. This
anthology tackles a wide-range of topics from social justice, new
media, and Afrofuturism, to race, gender, sexuality, mass
incarceration, cultural memory, and Afrosurrealism, exploring the
current climate of Black cinematic art that has proven wildly
popular with domestic and global audiences, including hit films
like Get Out and Marvel's Black Panther. Together, these essays
deepen understandings of Black visual culture, its creative
imagemakers, the political economy of Hollywood, and the cultural
politics at the intersection of modern cinema, streaming platforms,
and digital technologies. Black Cinema & Visual Culture will
serve as an important learning tool for university courses spanning
topics in film studies, American film and television, cultural
studies, American studies, African Diaspora studies, media
activism, social analysis, and African-American studies. This
volume will also provide a benchmark in popular and intellectual
circles for anyone interested in popular culture, Black-American
cinema, media, issues of race in Hollywood, or Black culture and
the conditions that shape both its art and politics.
