By closely examining films such as Sapphire (1959), Leo the Last (1969), Black Joy (1977), Playing Away (1986) and Mona Lisa (1987) and situating them in their historical and social context, Fear of the Dark develops a particualar critical perspective on the film portrayal of black female sexuality and questions the extent to which black film makers have challenged stereotypes. Review `What is particularly refreshing about (Lola Young's) approach is the determination to avoid big theories (trendy postmodernism a definite no-no), and instead to concentrate on historical context and material reality, which is, after all, what most people live by. Cultural studies at its best.' - Roger Sabin, IKON '...adding her own important insights to forge an analysis which draws upon an array of cultural studies perspectives ... Young extends and adds to the field in dealing with British feature films.' - Social Semiotics --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
