Reviews

...a powerful book which puts the spotlight on the entertainment world...a scholarly and well researched book...illustrations...are important...a very complete index. Mr. Sampson has given U.S. History teachers some long neglected areas of study and an important book for all of us. Paper Pile Quarterly ...a major work of reference, important in the fields of both animation history and black American studies. It cannot be improved upon and certainly cannot be recommended enough. Classic Images ...a stellar reference book, exhaustively covering black cartoon characters and themes (the safari, the minstrel show) through very full synopses and all available reviews of the period. Past Times His brief introductions to the series stars alone are worth the price of the book...an essential work... American Reference Books Annual ...an invaluable reference source of visual art and racial stereotyping in the popular culture...Its coverage is prodigious and the commentary and anaysis balanced and insightful. -- J. Boskin, Boston University ...informative and enlightening. A great reference book. Excellent. -- Mark Mayfield, Animation Research, Inc.
