Description
Examines how African American directors have depicted racial issues since the mid-90s, revealing the ways in which they both consciously avoid and sometimes utilize racial stereotypes.

Reviews:
-In this study, Leonard examines a sampling of recent African American films in order to assess the extent to which they reflect racial progress or help perpetuate racial inequality and white privilege. Most of the films analyzed were written, directed, and starred by black artists. —Reference & Research Book News/Art Book News Annual
-Those who buy this polemical book will find it leads to much discussion. —Choice
