Here, the authors recount how they set out on a collaborative three-year study to explore the impact of racial and cultural differences in one of their urban, middle school classrooms. They describe how they learned to confront and deal with the challenges they faced.

The essays in this collection provide a variety of perspectives on black representation and questions of racial authenticity in mainstream as well as African American independent cinema. This volume includes seminal essays on racial stereotypes, trenchant critiques of that discourse, original essays on important directors, and an insightful discussion of black gay and lesbian film and video.
