Reviews

Militant Visions is an engaging and welcome contribution to a vibrant field of emerging scholarship on African American film and media. --Kara Keeling author of The Witch s Flight: The Cinematic, the Black Femme, and the Image of C

Militant Visions uncovers a crucial, previously hidden dimension of American filmmaking, and of African American film spectatorship and response, showing how cinematic representations of black masculinity from the Forties to the Seventies contributed to the larger social movement for black emancipation. --Steven Shaviro Wayne State University
