Implications and Distinctions: Format, Content, and Context in Contemporary Race Film is a look at performances of blackness in contemporary cinema from 1990 – present. By considering story lines, movie theaters and her own viewing patterns, Syms attempts to find the “color line” and trace its path through the distribution and exhibition of film.
