Rebellion group of African American filmmakers, James Naremore provides a close critical study of all Burnett's major pictures for movies and television, including \u003ci\u003eKiller of Sheep\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eTo Sleep with Anger\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Glass Shield\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eNightjohn\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Wedding\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eNat Turner: A Troublesome Property\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eWarming by the Devil's Fire\u003c\/i\u003e. Having accessed new information and rarely seen material, Naremore shows that Burnett's career has developed against the odds and that his artistry, social criticism, humor, and commitment to what he calls \"symbolic knowledge\" have given his work enduring value for American culture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Naremore\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520285530\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520285538\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/17\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 250\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.70d","brand":"James Naremore","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43946701095167,"sku":"9780520285538","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_dff206a4-2705-4b96-b9ee-fc71e2d07e60.jpg?v=1681514639","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/charles-burnett-james-naremore-9780520285538","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
