John R. Howard

4.9/5 (24222 ratings)

Description:John Howard's Faces in the Mirror: Oscar Micheaux & Spike Lee provides a fresh look at the history of African-American filmmaking in the twentieth century. His engaging exploration of the life stories of the century's two most significant black movie directors chronicles the struggles of African-Americans in the film industry and against Hollywood's traditions of segregation and stereotyping. Recounting the lives of Micheaux, whose career spanned the period from the silent era through the late 1940s and Spike Lee, who came of age during the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s and emerged as one of the most important film directors of recent times, Howard demonstrates that both men, despite their very different experiences, encountered similar circumstances in their efforts to practice their art. Lee's later work emerges as the heir, at least indirectly, of Micheaux's attempts to forge a black aesthetic that addressed the concerns of the African-American community. This is a deeply meaningful contribution to the history of African-Americans as well as to the history of American film.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
