Through such films as \u003ci\u003eUncle Tom's Cabin\u003c\/i\u003e (1914), a silent movie adaptation of Harriet Beecher Stowe's novel; the groundbreaking and successful television miniseries \u003ci\u003eRoots\u003c\/i\u003e(1977); and the Harriet Tubman biopic \u003ci\u003eHarriet\u003c\/i\u003e(2019), this book analyzes how African American slavery has been and continues to be portrayed in major studio blockbusters and independent films alike.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSeparating the romanticized and unrealistic depictions of slavery from the more accurate but often unflinching portrayals of its horrors, this resource covers a wide range of topics, including the impact of slavery on popular culture, the Underground Railroad, Maroon communities, and the Los Angeles Film Rebellion of the 1960s. As a result, this book delivers a comprehensive, readable, and timely examination of enslaved African Americans and slavery in America's film history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCaron Knauer\u003c\/b\u003e teaches English at LaGuardia Community College, USA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 240\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.51 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 26, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45519987703910,"sku":"9798765167007","price":63.07,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/7255\/0758\/files\/yr9Yx-0bJe9798765167007.webp?v=1776451830","url":"https:\/\/infinitylightwa.com\/products\/american-slavery-on-film-paperback","provider":"Infinity Light","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
