Though unmistakably about race and civil rights, the film makes no direct reference to the civil rights movement. Despite this intentional absence, contemporary audiences were acutely aware of the social context for the film's indictment of white prejudice in America. To help frame and situate the film in the context of black film studies, the book gathers primary and secondary resources, including the original screenplay, essays on the film, statements by the filmmakers, and interviews with Robert M. Young, the film's producer and cinematographer, and Khalil Gibran Muhammad, the Director of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>One of the most sensitive films about black life ever made in this country.1993</p>-- "on the film Nothing But a Man"<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>David C.
