In this edited volume, Kasi Lemmons, the first African-American
woman auteur to solidly and steadily produce a full body of work in
cinema-an oeuvre of quality, of note, of international
recognition-will get the full film-studies treatment. This
collection offers the first scholarly examination of Lemmons' films
through various frameworks of film theory, illuminating her highly
personal, unique, and rare vision. In Lemmons' worldview, the
spiritual and the supernatural manifest in the natural, corporeal
world. She subtly infuses her work with such images and narratives,
owning her formalism, her modernist aesthetic, her cinematic
preoccupations and her ontological leanings on race. Lemmons holds
the varied experiences of African-American life before her lens-the
ambitious bourgeoise, the spiritually lost, the ill and discarded,
and the historically erased-and commits to capturing the nuances
and differentiations, rather than perpetuating essentialized
portrayals. This collection delves into Lemmons' iconoclastic drive
and post-soul aesthetic as emanations of her attitudes toward
personal agency, social agency, and social justice.
