Clean, tight and seemingly still unread vintage paperback.  Cover shows some light shelf wear / discoloration from age.  Inside, pages look and read like new. 

From The Birth of a Nation to The Exorcist, America's most celebrated black author turns his critical eye to American Cinema.

These are the movie stars and the qualities that influenced James Baldwin...and now become part of his incisive look at racism in American movies. Here are our loves and hates, biases and cruelties, fears and ignorance reflected by the films that have entertained us and shaped our consciousness. And here, too, is the stunning prose of a writer whose passion never diminished his struggle for equality, justice, and social change.
