In this incisive book-length essay, James Baldwin examines the intersection of American cinema and racial politics. By analyzing films such as In the Heat of the Night and The Exorcist, Baldwin exposes the deep-seated biases and self-delusions embedded in the national consciousness. His prose serves as both a critique of Hollywood storytelling and a profound reflection on the struggle for justice and social change in America.
