The moment marked the beginning of Hollywood's reluctant move toward diversity and inclusion. Since then, minorities and women have struggled to attain Academy Awards recognition within a system designed to discriminate against them. For the first time, Hollywood Blackout reveals the untold story of their tumultuous journey from exclusion to inclusion; from segregation to celebration. Author Ben Arogundade interweaves the experiences of Black actors and filmmakers with those of Asians, Latinos, South Asians, indigenous peoples and women. Throughout the decades their progression to the Oscars podium has been galvanized by defiant boycotts, civil rights protests and social media activism such as #OscarsSoWhite.Whether you are a film fan, history lover or diversity advocate, Hollywood Blackout is the quintessential choice for all those who wish to know the real story of Hollywood, the Oscars and the talents who fought to make change.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 240mmItem Length: 156mmAuthor: Ben ArogundadeGenre: Films & TVTopic: Society & Culture, Social SciencesType: Production & TechnologyItem Width: 36mmItem Weight: 600gRelease Year: 2025 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
