The Black South in Contemporary Film.

Jones, Jacquie

African American Review, v27 n1 p19-24 Spr 1993

Reviews two films dealing with the Black south. Julie Dash's 1992 film "Daughters of the Dust" offers a historical moment in African-American culture concentrating on African-American women. Charles Burnett's 1991 film "To Sleep with Anger," which is set in the Los Angeles (California) of early southern migrants, also authenticates the power of the ordinary. (SLD)
