Klappentext Barbara Tepa Lupack has written extensively on American literature, film, and culture. She has authored or edited more than 20 books and taught at universities within the United States and abroad. "Grounded in impressive archival research, Barbara Lupack's book offers a long overdue history of Richard E. Norman and the filmmaking company he established early in the twentieth century. Lupack's ability to describe Norman's films - and the work that went into their production - reanimates them for readers and stresses their role in shaping early African American cinematic representation." - Paula Massood, author of Making a Promised Land: Harlem in 20th-Century Photography and Film Zusammenfassung Offers a vibrant portrait of race in early cinema.
