Allyson Nadia Field in Uplift Cinema has immediately established herself as a leading scholar in the study of early black film..... Uplift Cinema is written in a highly accessible style for historians of all stripes. Most importantly, the volume will be seminal not only for scholars of black film but also for those working in African American history and the early Progressive Era., Even before The Birth of a Nation , African American filmmakers envisioned cinema as a means of presenting a new image of black culture in the USA. With peerless archaeological research, Allyson Nadia Field excavates the roots of African American film within a rhetoric of social uplift. Offering more than a prologue to later black filmmaking, Field reveals the origins of an alternative film culture based in ideological address and political rhetoric, as cinema forged an effective political voice., A significant and remarkable book, Uplift Cinema revises African American cinematic history. Allyson Field's illuminating scholarship and close reading of primary archival sources will compel historians to reimagine how the history of black cinema is told., "Allyson Nadia Field in Uplift Cinema has immediately established herself as a leading scholar in the study of early black film..... Uplift Cinema is written in a highly accessible style for historians of all stripes. Most importantly, the volume will be seminal not only for scholars of black film but also for those working in African American history and the early Progressive Era." -- Gerald R. Butters Jr. Journal of American History "Allyson Nadia Field has made a vital scholarly contribution; Uplift Cinema is a rich book with much to offer film historians, scholars of African American history, and those interested in visual media. She has expanded our understanding of the scope and range of African American filmmaking and she makes a convincing argument for the continued importance of the film text as a primary source for film historians, even--as with uplift cinema--when it no longer exists in material form." -- Julie Lavelle Black Camera " Uplift Cinema is a significant historical interpretation and contribution to the complex, contradictory, multifaceted, and challenging ways nascent African- American film makers and leaders in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century struggled to create positive enduring representative images of black people 'up from slavery.'" -- Theodoric Manley Ethnic and Racial Studies "Field's book is, at once, an unprecedented reading of an important set of films and analysis of those works and their effects on filmmakers working in their wake ... and a manifesto and model for doing cinema history when film texts themselves are lost. The detail and depth of Field's work will make it of most interest to specialists, but her clear writing and organization makes her impressive research accessible to undergraduates and more general readers in film studies, social and cultural history, and American and African American studies." -- Arthur Knight History, Uplift Cinema is a significant historical interpretation and contribution to the complex, contradictory, multifaceted, and challenging ways nascent African- American film makers and leaders in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century struggled to create positive enduring representative images of black people 'up from slavery.', Undaunted by the profound lack of surviving films, Allyson Nadia Field deftly excavates the rich discursive history of how African Americans mobilized and fine-tuned the rhetoric of uplift in the context of visual culture. Uplift Cinema is an essential mapping of the ideological, economic, and aesthetic tensions structuring the emergence of Black American film production and exhibition, and a vital account of Black participation in the history of industrial filmmaking., Field's book is, at once, an unprecedented reading of an important set of films and analysis of those works and their effects on filmmakers working in their wake ... and a manifesto and model for doing cinema history when film texts themselves are lost. The detail and depth of Field's work will make it of most interest to specialists, but her clear writing and organization makes her impressive research accessible to undergraduates and more general readers in film studies, social and cultural history, and American and African American studies., Allyson Nadia Field has made a vital scholarly contribution; Uplift Cinema is a rich book with much to offer film historians, scholars of African American history, and those interested in visual media.

Synopsis
Allyson Nadia Field recovers the forgotten body of African American filmmaking from the 1910s which she calls uplift cinema. These films were part of the racial uplift project, which emphasized education, respectability, and self-sufficiency, and weren't only responses to racist representations of African Americans in other films., In Uplift Cinema , Allyson Nadia Field recovers the significant yet forgotten legacy of African American filmmaking in the 1910s. Like the racial uplift project, this cinema emphasized economic self-sufficiency, education, and respectability as the keys to African American progress. Field discusses films made at the Tuskegee and Hampton Institutes to promote education, as well as the controversial The New Era , which was an antiracist response to D. W. Griffith's The Birth of a Nation . She also shows how Black filmmakers in New York and Chicago engaged with uplift through the promotion of Black modernity. Uplift cinema developed not just as a response to onscreen racism, but constituted an original engagement with the new medium that has had a deep and lasting significance for African American cinema. Although none of these films survived, Field's examination of archival film ephemera presents a method for studying lost films that opens up new frontiers for exploring early film culture.
