       indexes. 
520    Set against the backdrop of the black struggle in society,
       Slow Fade to Black is the definitive history of African-
       American accomplishment in film--both before and behind 
       the camera--from the earliest movies through World War II.
       As he records the changing attitudes toward African-
       Americans both in Hollywood and the nation at large, 
       Cripps explores the growth of discrimination as filmmakers
       became more and more intrigued with myths of the Old South
       : the "lost cause" aspect; of the Civil War, the stately 
       mansions and gracious ladies of the antebellum South, the 
       "happy" slaves singing in the fields. Cripps shows how 
       these characterizations culminated in the blatantly racist
       attitudes of Griffith's The Birth of a Nation, and how 
       this film inspired the N.A.A.C.P. to campaign vigorously--
       and successfully--for change. While the period of the 
       1920s to 1940s was one replete with Hollywood stereotypes 
       (blacks most often appeared as domestics or "natives," or 
       were portrayed in shiftless, cowardly "Stepin Fetchit" 
       roles), there was also an attempt at independent black 
       production--on the whole unsuccessful. But with the coming
       of World War II, increasing pressures for a wider use of 
       blacks in films, and calls for more equitable treatment, 
       African-Americans did begin to receive more sympathetic 
       roles, such as that of Sam, the piano player in the 1942 
       classic Casablanca.; A lively, thorough history of African
       -Americans in the movies, Slow Fade to Black is also a 
       perceptive social commentary on evolving racial attitudes 
       in this country during the first four decades of the 
       twentieth century.
