Uplift Cinema: The Emergence of African American Film and the Possibility of Black Modernity
Allyson Nadia Field
Allyson Nadia Field recovers the forgotten body of African American filmmaking from the 1910s which she calls uplift cinema. These films were part of the racial uplift project, which emphasized education, respectability, and self-sufficiency, and weren't only responses to racist representations of African Americans in other films.
