Donald Bogle (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Donald Bogle is a film historian and author of six books concerning African Americans in film and on television. He is an instructor at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts and at the University of Pennsylvania. Bogle grew up in a suburb of Philadelphia and graduated from Lincoln University in 1966. As a child, he spent a lot of time watching television and going to the movies. He wondered why there were very few African-American characters. He also wondered what happened to the Black characters when they went off-screen. In a 2005 interview, Bogle recalled: In the movie Gone with the Wind, how did Hattie McDaniel live-in the big house or the slaves' quarters? What did she think about the civil war? These were all questions I wanted answers to.
