In the first book devoted to Charles Burnett, a crucial figure in
the history of American cinema often regarded as the most
influential member of the LA Rebellion group of African American
filmmakers, James Naremore provides a close critical study of all
Burnett's major pictures for movies and television, including
Killer of Sheep, To Sleep with Anger, The Glass Shield, Nightjohn,
The Wedding, Nat Turner: A Troublesome Property, and Warming by the
Devil's Fire. Having accessed new information and rarely seen
material, Naremore shows that Burnett's career has developed
against the odds and that his artistry, social criticism, humor,
and commitment to what he calls "symbolic knowledge" have given his
work enduring value for American culture.
