Manly Arts: Masculinity and Nation in Early American Cinema Hardcover - 2006
by David A. Gerstner
From the rear cover
"Through a consideration of such seemingly disparate figures as Edwin Forrest, Theodore Roosevelt, Oscar Micheaux, Paul Strand, and Vincente Minnelli, David A. Gerstner subtly and cogently outlines the complex ways that literature, theater, cinema, and other arts created a fragile definition of nation: one predicated on white, working-class, masculine norms but also inflected by African American masculinities and queer subjectivities. Original and innovative, "Manly Arts" is sure to be a significant and lasting contribution to the fields of gender studies, film studies, and American arts and aesthetics."--Paula J. Massood, author of "Black City Cinema: African American Urban Experiences in Film"
