Red, White \u0026 Black: Cinema and the Structure of U.S. Antagonisms Reviews
-
Blew my doors off. Very challenging text, and one I will need to re-visit to fully understand, but well worth the effort. Can't look at film or criticism the same way again.
-
Interesting, disturbing, and completely unnecessarily academically worded.
-
I was overwhelmed with his persuasive and devastating account of the Modern world's ontological foundation of anti-blackness only to be surprised by how well he could articulate this through such lucid and insightful film criticism. Amazing and unnerving.
-
(If I had any background in film theory and was able to understand some of the references to elements of films, this would have been 5 stars)
-
this is a powerful book. afropessimism is an intervention whose conclusions are open ended and whose imagination is unlimited. its power is frightening and what frank achieves in this books seeps past the bounds of cinema to describe how fundamental antiblackness is to what we know as the world. frank is a great writer, powerful thinker and great teacher. glad to have met him and spoken with him while i was uc irvine.
