From the rear cover

"There is no doubt that this comprehensive, much-needed collection will be of great use for researchers, instructors, and students interested in this groundbreaking group of filmmakers and films." --Paula J. Massood, author of Making a Promised Land: Harlem in Twentieth-Century Photography and Film

"LA Rebellion: Creating a New Black Cinema is an extraordinary, exciting, anthology. The oral histories and other archival materials, the "LA Rebellion Filmography," and the carefully assembled "LA Rebellion Bibliography" are significant resources. The scholarly essays includedin this volume are among the most exciting work on the LA Rebellion that I have read. Each section on its own is a welcome contribution to our understanding of the history, challenges, and possibilities of Black cinema. That they are included in the same volume makes this book simply indispensable. Indeed, I think it will be a seminal text in Film Studies." --Kara Keeling, Associate Professor of Critical Studies, School of Cinematic Arts, University of Southern California
