Fear of the Dark: 'Race', Gender and Sexuality in the Cinema Hardcover - 1995

by Lola Young


From the publisher

Studies of the portrayal of black people in film have tended to be studies for the ideological correctness of the depictions of black people and the extent to which they rely on stereotypes. By closely examining films such as Sapphire (1959), Leo the Last (1969), Black Joy (1977), Playing Away (1986) and Mona Lisa (1987) and situating them in their historical and social context, Fear of the Dark develops a particualar critical perspective on the film portrayal of black female sexuality and questions the extent to which black film makers have challenged stereotypes.

First line

The aim of this chapter is to indicate the major theories and concepts which have informed the textual analyses which follow.
