He was inspired to create films that showed that black cowboys helped win the West, too. His story is one of many found in Bruce A. Glasrud and Michael N. Searles’s broad and fascinating collection of essays on African Americans’ experiences in the American West titled Black Cowboys in the American West: On the Range, On the Stage, Behind the Badge.

  • Dictionary of Westerns in Cinema
    PERFORMING ARTS • FILM HISTORICAL DICTIONARY OF Historical Dictionaries of Literature and the Arts, No. 26 VARNER When early filmgoers watched The Great Train Robbery in 1903, many shrieked in terror at the very last clip, when one of the outlaws turned toward the camera and seemingly fired a gun directly at the audience. The puff of WESTERNS smoke was sudden and hand-colored, and it looked real. Today we can look back at that primitive movie and see all the elements of what would evolve HISTORICAL into the Western genre. Perhaps the Western’s early origins—The Great Train DICTIONARY OF Robbery was the first narrative, commercial movie—or its formulaic yet enter- WESTERNS in Cinema taining structure has made the genre so popular. And with the recent success of films like 3:10 to Yuma and The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, the Western appears to be in no danger of disappearing. The story of the Western is told in this Historical Dictionary of Westerns in Cinema through a chronology, a bibliography, an introductory essay, and hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary entries on cinematographers; com- posers; producers; films like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Dances with Wolves, The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, High Noon, The Magnificent Seven, The Searchers, Tombstone, and Unforgiven; actors such as Gene Autry, in Cinema Cinema Kirk Douglas, Clint Eastwood, Henry Fonda, Jimmy Stewart, and John Wayne; and directors like John Ford and Sergio Leone.

Mayme A. Clayton Library. SAN MARINO, Calif.—African American arts and culture exploded in early 20th century America, and the Harlem neighborhood of New York City was Ground Zero. Not as well known is what played out in Los Angeles at the same time—a flowering of African American arts, literature, and culture along Central Avenue. A new exhibition at The Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens explores the Harlem Renaissance in Los Angeles, drawing on materials from The Huntington as well as items from the Mayme A. Clayton Library, which never before have been on public display. The exhibition, “Central Avenue and Beyond: The Central Avenue Page 2 Harlem Renaissance in Los Angeles,” is on view Oct. 29, 2009–Jan. 4, 2010, in the Library West Hall at The Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens. “People tend to think the Harlem Renaissance took place in one spot,” says Sara “Sue” Hodson, curator of literary manuscripts at The Huntington and co-curator of the exhibition.

  • Brown Cowboys on Film: Race, Heteronormativity and Settler Colonialism
    BROWN COWBOYS ON FILM: RACE, HETERONORMATIVITY AND SETTLER COLONIALISM BEENASH JAFRI A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN GENDER, FEMINIST & WOMEN’S STUDIES YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO JULY 2014 © Beenash Jafri, 2014 ii ABSTRACT This dissertation analyzes minority-produced westerns as examples of settler cinemas. Though they are produced by subjects at the margins of settler society, I argue that settler colonialism is, nonetheless, a significant cultural context shaping these films. The dissertation intervenes into existing film studies scholarship, which has tended to frame settler colonialism as the historical context structuring the racial oppression of Native Americans, rather than as a constitutive feature of all forms of racial subjugation. As a result, the connections and investments of other racialized subjects within the dynamics of settler colonialism have received limited attention. Drawing on queer, race and Native American/Indigenous studies, the dissertation develops and deploys an intersectional framework for examining film that illuminates the fraught relationship between racialized minorities, Indigenous peoples and settler colonialism. To make its argument, the dissertation examines three sets of films: black westerns, South Asian diaspora films, and Jackie Chan’s martial arts westerns. In each chapter, I consider how existing film scholarship has read these respective films before offering an alternative interpretation that draws attention to their settler colonial contexts. For example, black westerns have been interpreted in terms of anti-racist historical revisionism; South Asian diasporic films have been analyzed in terms of their liminal position between Hollywood and Bollywood film industries; and Jackie Chan’s western parodies have been interpreted in terms of postmodern mimicry.

  • Go West, Brother: the Politics of Landscape in the Blaxploitation Western
    10 Go West, Brother: The Politics of Landscape in the Blaxploitation Western Austin Fisher When The Legend of Nigger Charley (Martin Goldman, 1972) opened in downtown theaters across the United States in May 1972, its marketing campaign provided a clear indication of who its target audience was. The film’s tagline— “Somebody warn the West. Nigger Charley ain’t running no more”—locates it within the cultural moment of the “blaxploitation” cycle, appealing to inner-city black markets through an antagonistic opposition to white America’s most hallowed foundation myth. Yet this belligerent tone belies the hesitance and uncertainty toward the Wild West, its landscape, and the attendant tropes that are to be found in the film itself. After the eponymous hero and his two fellow escapees kill their brutal white slave-master and flee into the desert from an antebellum plantation, the first encounter they actually have with “the West” is rather less assured than the tagline suggests. Charley (Fred Williamson) belatedly notices an impending ambush by a group of Native Americans and nervously says “let’s keep moving,” but the trio are rapidly surrounded and brought to a halt. As the outlaws look around anxiously, one young tribesman reaches out, wipes his fingers down Charley’s cheek and checks to see if the color has rubbed off, before confirming to his companions that it has not. A visibly relieved Charley responds by returning the gesture, and our heroes are allowed to go on their way. On a diegetic level, this scene gives a brief but clear indication that the black outlaws and the Native Americans are in sympathy with each other in their mutual opposition to white oppression.
