From Havana to Hollywood<\/i>\u00a0examines the presence or absence of Black resistance to slavery in feature films produced in either Havana or Hollywood\u2014including Gillo Pontecorvo’s\u00a0Burn!<\/i>, neglected masterpieces by Cuban auteurs Tom\u00e1s Guti\u00e9rrez Alea and Sergio Giral, and Steve McQueen’s Oscar-winning\u00a012 Years a Slave<\/i>. Philip Kaisary argues that, with rare exceptions, the representation of Black agency in Hollywood has always been, and remains, taboo. Contrastingly, Cuban cinema foregrounds Black agency, challenging the ways in which slavery has been misremembered and misunderstood in North America and Europe. With powerful, richly theorized readings, the book shows how Cuban cinema especially recreates the past to fuel visions of liberation and asks how the medium of film might contribute to a renewal of emancipatory politics today.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
