Book Reviews of Daughters of the Dust: The Making of an African American Woman's Film
Book Review: History from a different perspective.
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is the companion to the movie Daughters of the Dust. Or the other way around. I have loved the moviw and the book since they both came out. By reading the book you get a deeper understanding of the struggle between old and new. The movie shows it as well, but the book allows you to spend more time on the specifice. I was glad I was able to find it again.
Summary of Daughters of the Dust: The Making of an African American Woman's Film
In the winter of 1992, nearly one hundred years after motion pictures were invented, the first nationally distributed feature by an African American woman was released in the United States. The film tells the story of an African American sea-island family preparing to come to the mainland at the turn of the century. In her richly textured, highly visual, lyrical portrayal of the day of the departure, Julie Dash evokes the details of a persisting African culture and the tensions between tradition and assimilation. Daughters of the Dust: The Making of an African American Woman's Film, which includes Dash's complete screenplay, describes the story of her extraordinary sixteen-year struggle to complete the project.Art History Books
