Reid makes another substantial contribution to literature on
African American film history and theory with this book. . . . The
volume's six freestanding essays examine early African American
film, black family film, black action film, black horror film,
black female-centered film, and black independent film.
Essential.

In Black Lenses, Black Voices Mark Reid has given us an always
interesting summation of his evolving, highly original analysis of
black film as a cinema 'committed to the survival and wholeness of
an entire people.'
*Thomas R. Cripps, Morgan State University*
Mark Reid brings to our attention a complex and rich group of
contemporary films, deftly setting them within their history in
African American and Hollywood filmmaking. Always enlightening,
never simple, Reid's work is significant for film criticism and for
race and gender media analysis.
