A timely exploration of Oscar-nominated Black actors and the
complicated legacy of the Academy Awards. In Black Oscars: From
Mammy to Minny, What the Academy Awards Tell Us about African
Americans, Frederick W. Gooding Jr. draws on American, African
American, and film history to reflect on how the Oscars have
recognized Black actors from the award's inception to the present.
Starting in the 1920s, the chapters provide a thorough overview and
analysis of Black actors nominated for their Hollywood roles during
each decade, with special attention paid to the winners. Historical
patterns are scrutinized to reveal racial trends and open the
question of whether race relations have truly changed substantively
or only superficially over time. Given the Oscars' presence and
popularity, it begs the question of what these awards reflect and
reinforce about larger society. In the meticulously-researched
Black Oscars, we see how the Academy Awards are an indispensable
guide to understanding race in mainstream Hollywood and beyond.
