This is Vol. 2 of The Interviews, a sequel to Every Step a
Struggle. While Vol. 1 recalled the performers who fought to give
black artists a voice and a presence, this new ground-breaking book
focuses on the personalities who replaced the pioneers and refused
to abide by Jim Crow traditions. Presented against a detailed
background of the revolutionary post-World War II era up to the
mid-1970s, the individual views of Mae Mercer, Brock Peters, Jim
Brown, Ivan Dixon, James Whitmore, William Marshall and Ruby Dee in
heretofore unpublished conversations from the past reveal just how
tumultuous and extraordinary the technological, political, and
social changes were for the artists and the film industry. Using
extensive documentation, hundreds of films, and fascinating private
recollections, Dr. Manchel puts a human face both on popular
culture and race relations. "A worthy successor to Every Step a
Struggle, Exits and Entrances combines superb historical research
and astute analytical insights with the inimitable voices of the
next generation of African-American artists. This book ensures that
the contributions to American cinema of these determined and
courageous rebels will never be forgotten. The film studies
community owes a debt of gratitude to Manchel for this, the finest
achieve- ment of his illustrious career. Exits and Entrances should
be required reading for everyone interested in the politics of race
in America, film studies, and African-American studies. It belongs
in every research library. Denise Youngblood, University of
Vermont, author of Cinematic Cold War. "Using the method of oral
history and the mature thinking of a senior scholar, Exits and
Entrances enhances our understanding of the difficult slog to
create a truthful, "round" image of African-Americans in U.S.
commercial films. This collection is a gold mine of information for
future research and should be in all libraries which value film
research." Peter C. Rollins, Emeritus EIC, Film & History: An
Interdisciplinary Journal
