Published by Noonday Press, 1992, softcover, illustrated, index, 164 pages, 22.2 cms x 28.3 cms, condition: new.

Presents the history of black-cast films through their posters, covering the years from 1915 to 1965 with two hundred full-colour reproductions and a brief text that places the films in a social and cultural context.

This amazing book was originally published in 1992 and remains as relevant, inspiring, and informative today as it was over 30 years ago.

Even though the authors and compilers John Kisch and Edward Mapp , touted this book as a collection of movie one-sheets (aka movie posters) and lobby cards, it is actually a very accessible journey through the once neglected history of Black cinema. This book starts at the beginning of all-Black productions when many of those movies were called race films because they were primarily produced for Black theatre audiences. As the decades progressed from the early 1900s, race films became more sophisticated with bigger budgets and eventually evolved into a form of motion picture entertainment that had more appeal to a wider audience of theater goers regardless of colour.

This book beautifully presents full colour reproductions of many rare motion picture one-sheets along with other theatrical materials like lobby cards. The descriptions that accompany each illustration are also entertaining and informative and help keep the narrative moving along. Any person who is interested in the history of cinema, particularly cinema that focuses of the achievements of Black actors and filmmakers, will love this book.

I highly recommend A Separate Cinema: Fifty Years of Black Cast Posters.
