Product Information
Hollywood is often thought of--and certainly by Hollywood itself--as a progressive haven. However, in the decade after the passage of the Civil Rights Act, the film industry grew deeply conservative when it came to conflicts over racial justice. Amid black self-assertion and white backlash, many of the most heated struggles in film were fought over employment. In A Piece of the Action , Eithne Quinn reveals how Hollywood catalyzed wider racial politics, through representation on screen as well as in battles over jobs and resources behind the scenes. Based on extensive archival research and detailed discussions of films like In the Heat of the Night , Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song , Super Fly , Claudine , and Blue Collar , this volume considers how issues of race and labor played out on the screen during the tumultuous early years of affirmative action. Quinn charts how black actors leveraged their performance capital to force meaningful changes to employment and film content. She examines the emergence of Sidney Poitier and other African Americans as A-list stars; the careers of black filmmakers such as Melvin Van Peebles and Ossie Davis; and attempts by the federal government and black advocacy groups to integrate cinema. Quinn also highlights the limits of Hollywood's liberalism, showing how predominantly white filmmakers, executives, and unions hid the persistence of racism behind feel-good stories and public-relations avowals of tolerance. A rigorous analysis of the deeply rooted patterns of racial exclusion in American cinema, A Piece of the Action sheds light on why conservative and corporate responses to antiracist and labor activism remain pervasive in today's Hollywood.

Reviews
Quinn offers a revelatory account of resistance and reaction unfolding in Hollywood between In the Heat of the Night (1967) and Blue Collar (1978). She chronicles black creatives struggling to get black experiences on screen and black labor on the set. Powerful and richly insightful, A Piece of the Action details black filmmakers and their white allies attempting to counter liberal tokenism and colorblindness only to come up against the industry's neoconservative retreat from racial and economic justice., A Piece of the Action is a story about the interconnections between white privilege, "colorblind" ideology, and Hollywood business-as-usual practices. With a historian's nose for detail, Quinn reveals in sharp relief how an industry filled with self-proclaimed white progressives manages to reproduce--to this very day--its infamous legacy of racial exclusion and marginalization. This book is a must-read for anyone hoping to make sense of Hollywood's integral role in the shaping of American racial politics., Quinn's conclusion provides the reader with two prescient, convincing, and well-earned macroscopic takeaways., Quinn offers a revelatory account of resistance and reaction unfolding in Hollywood between In the Heat of the Night (1967) and Blue Collar (1978). She chronicles black creatives struggling to get black experiences on screen and black labor on the set. Powerful and richly insightful, A Piece of the Action details black filmmakers' and their white allies' attempts to counter liberal tokenism and colorblindness only to come up against the industry's neoconservative retreat from racial and economic justice., Well-written, meticulously researched, critical, and smart, A Piece of the Action may be the most important book on black American cinema in the last quarter century. Enjoyable and highly informative, this book will quickly emerge as a classic and must-read among those interested in film history, black cinema, race and popular culture, and the sociology of culture.
