Hollywood be thy name : African American religion in American film, 1929-1949

Author:	Judith Weisenfeld
Publisher:	Berkeley : University of California Press, ©2007.
Series:	George Gund Foundation book in African American studies.

Summary:	From the earliest years of sound film in America, Hollywood studios and independent producers of "race films" for black audiences created stories featuring African American religious practices.
