Jacqueline Najuma Stewart's Migrating to the Movies: Cinema and Black Urban Modernity is a great starting place for anyone interested in learning about African American experiences with and in silent film. Migrating to the Movies is a treasure trove of black voices, experience, and history. While it is meant to be an academic exploration of African Americans in silent film, it is written in an approachable style for most readers. For anyone that is actively seeking to watch more African American directed and produced classic films, Stewart's book will provide key contextual background to better understand the limitations faced by black race film production and the influence these films had on American culture and art. Reading this book has been an excellent companion as I've sought out more early African American films, providing me with more films to check out and more context that allows me to better understand the history behind these films.
