Poitier revisited : reconsidering a black icon in the Obama age

2015
Book
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.
