The Birth of Whiteness by Daniel Leonard Bernardi
This anthology on race in early cinema examines the origins, dynamics, and ramifications of racism and Eurocentrism and the resistance to both during the early years of American motion pictures. It addresses such subjects as miscegenation and assimilation and their impact on early cinema.
The Birth of Whiteness also offers some startling and innovative research into an ill-preserved and almost forgotten era in film* Cineaste *
