[nb-NO]Description[nb-NO]
The author makes a strong case for the contention that government films and their Hollywood counterparts performed the valuable service of giving visual substance to the black presence in American life and brought racism to the status of a national issue. On the other hand, he found that the conscience-liberals had in fact defined racism as a wartime phenomenon in their zeal to give the blacks a reason to fight.
