Cinema negro brasileiro
Um livro sobre o cinema negro no Brasil de hoje é como se fosse um presente para quem acompanha a história do cinema brasileiro. Embora a mistura cultural do povo deste país tenha como influência poderosa a fonte afro-brasileira, só na primeira metade dos anos 1960, com Ganga Zumba, foi feito o primeiro filme a partir do respeito e da consideração a essa influência étnica.
