Offering an incisive look at racism in American movies and a vision of America's self-delusions and deceptions, Baldwin challenges the underlying assumptions in such films as\u003ci\u003e In the Heat of the Night\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eGuess Who's Coming to Dinner\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Exorcist\u003c\/i\u003e. Here are our loves and hates, biases and cruelties, fears and ignorance reflected by the films that have entertained us and shaped our consciousness. And here too is the stunning prose of a writer whose passion never diminished his struggle for equality, justice, and social change.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/13\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780307275950\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.20w x 0.50d","brand":"James Baldwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36635555987612,"sku":"9780307275950","price":12.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_1ef3a212-e120-4b86-9943-9cf8f9db9206.jpg?v=1603839887","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-devil-finds-work-9780307275950","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
