      abstract = {This collection brings together many of the worlds leading  scholars on race and film to re-consider the legacy and  impact of D.W. Griffiths deeply racist 1915 epic The Birth  of a Nation. While this film is often cited, there is a  considerable dearth of substantial research on its initial  impact and global reach. These essays fill important gaps  in the history of the film, including essential work on its  sources, international reception, and African American  responses. This book is a key text in the history of the  most infamous and controversial film ever made and offers  crucial new insights to scholars and students working in  film history, African American history and the history of  race relations.},
