Sisters of the Screen: Women of Africa on Film, Video and Television Beti Ellerson Black Film as a Signifying Practice by Galdstone Yearwood $21.95 BACKCOVER: In Black Film as a Signifying Practice, Galdstone Yearwood explores cinema as part of the black cultural tradition. he argues that black film criticism is best understood as a 20th century development in the history of African-American aesthetic thought, which provides a substantive and accumulative aesthetic and critical tradition for black film studies. The book examines the way black filmmakers use expressive forms and systems of signification that reflect the cultural and historica priorities of the black experience. It delineates howthe African-American expressive tradition utilizes its own vernacular space and time for story telling in the cinema and how black film narration draws on the formal structures of black experience to organize story material. Yearwood focuses on signifying practices in the cinema and the symbol-producing mechanisms tht inform black fimmaking.The book proves valuable insghts into the narrational processes at work in African-American expressive forms and in black culture. Using the frameworkds of an Afrocentric model, Black Film as a Signifying Practice moves away from a preoccupation with balck film as deefined by the dominant society to emphasize how the expressive startegies and cultural mechanisms that have been critical to black survival influence in black fimmaking.

Image Bank slide series 3709-3740,4334,4340 Northwest Coast Indian Art The land occupied by the American Northwest Coast Indians is a stretch of coastland bordered by the Yakutat Bay to the north in southeast Alaska and, arguably,1 the Lower Columbia River in northwest Oregon. The eastern border is the Coast Range of British Columbia and the Cascades of Washington state, and the western border is of course the Pacific Ocean. There have been six major linguistic groups or cultures in this area, as of the nineteenth century.2 From north to south, they are the Tlingit, the Haida in the Queen Charlotte Islands, the Tsimshian, the Bella Bella, Bella Coola and Kwakiutl, and then the Westcoast and Coast Salish. The religion of the Northwest Coast Indians involves elaborate art and ceremony closely tied to their complex hierarchial social structure (Wardwell, p. 13).3 All slides in this sequence were photographed out of the context of their use. The masks, in particular, were made to be worn during rituals, with costumes and headgear associated with the entity being represented. Motion and dance steps, as well as sounds and surroundings, animated what we see as mere artifacts, making spirits appear. These spirits were not regarded as deities, but rather as manifestations of the forces of nature. Before the coming of man, they were thought to have inhabited the world (Wardwell, p. 16).
