How have image-makers of colour explored white societies, cultures and practices? This book takes as its case studies films, TV shows and photography that treat whiteness, in all its complexities, not as an unmarked and naturalised position from which to speak, but as an object of inquiry and sustained scrutiny. International in both authorship and critical scope, Black Image Making and Whiteness disrupts Eurocentric perspectives to ask: what happens when white people are seen as the Other?
'This wide-ranging collection gathers probing explorations of whiteness on film. Its rigorous scholarship and theoretical precision illuminate the impact of white presumptions cinematically but also and mainly show the sustained impressive cumulative impact of the questioning of whiteness by filmmakers and film scholars. A volume fully worthy of its many invocations of the genius of James Baldwin.' * David Roediger teaches American Studies at University of Kansas and is the author of the autobiography An Ordinary White. *
