1.		Toms, Coons, Mulattoes, Mammies, & Bucks from Continuum International Publishing Group Customer Review: Whew! This is not a book to be read in one sitting. This is 433 pages chock-full of the history of Black actors/actresses in film. From the humble beginnings of actor James B. Lowe in Uncle Tom's Cabin to the current mass appeal of Samuel L. Jackson and Morgan Freeman, Bogle takes us on an... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

2.		Bright Boulevards, Bold Dreams: The Story of Black Hollywood from One World/Ballantine Price: $12.44 Customer Review: I enjoyed this book. It provided some insight into the Black Hollywood scene from its humble beginnings through the 1950s. Since I'd previously read books about Stepin Fetchit, Hattie McDaniel, Sammy Davis, Jr., Ethel Waters, and Dorothy Dandridge, Bogle rehashes alot of information that I already... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

3.		A Separate Cinema: Fifty Years of Black-Cast Posters from Noonday Pr Customer Review: After skimming through a friend's copy of A Separate Cinema one evening, Mr. Danger was so impressed that I purchased it myself the very next day. This is an amazing book, essential to the collection of any student of American film. Within it's 150 oversized glossy pages are theaterical posters,... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

4.		Dorothy Dandridge from Berkley Trade Customer Review: An enlightened bio of a regretably glossed-over star. This book is, however, about more than just Dorothy---it reveals much about the history of Hollywood in general, and black entertainers in particular. Read it definitely for the story of this beautiful, talented woman, but read it also for... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

5.		Brown Sugar: Over 100 Years of America's Black Female Superstars (New and Updated Edition) from Continuum Price: $30.36 Customer Review: I love that Mr. Bogle continues to uncover and expand on African-American female superstars in his book, "Brown Sugar"; however, I would've liked to see more coverage on two of the following actresses: Meagan Good and Jurnee Smollett. While they are mentioned, it is nothing more than a passing... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

7.		Primetime Blues: African Americans on Network Television from Farrar, Straus and Giroux Customer Review: Bogle does it again, I never seen a man be so consistent. He seems to criticize anything Blacks do even being born black. What Blacks have done on TV should be applauded, Blacks have had great success and once in while their shows ruled the airwaves. Everything Blacks do doesn't have to be... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

8.	[no image]	Blacks in American Films and Television: An Encyclopedia from Fireside Customer Review: Most moviegoers and television-watchers are familiar with the cinematic accomplishments of Sidney Poitier, Cicely Tyson, James Earl Jones and other African-American icons. But how many recognize the names Oscar Micheaux, Fredi Washington, Spencer Williams or Nina Mae McKinney? How many know that in... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

9.	[no image]	Brown Sugar: Eighty Years of American Black Female Superstars from Random House Value Publishing Customer Review: Brown Sugar is the best title he has given to any of his books, the other titles for his books are bigoted and racist. The title is deceiving, he doesn't applaud Black females achievements much. Here's a long but informative review. Naturally since Bogle is the only one writing about... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom
