Total copies: 1
Sidney Poitier remains one of the most recognizable black men in the world. Widely celebrated but at times criticized for the roles he played during a career that spanned 60 years, there can be no comprehensive discussion of black men in American film, and no serious analysis of 20th-century American film history that excludes him. This title offers a fresh interrogation of the social, cultural, and political significance of the Poitier oeuvre.Subject: A critical anthology re-contextualizing the work of one of America's most recognized and celebrated actors.
