Review of "The Devil Finds Work"
3 étoiles
Baldwin makes some very good points on the connections between Hollywood and racism, and specifically the portrayal of African-Americans in cinema throughout the years. However, the book shows its age pretty clearly when one doesn't recognize more than half the referenced films, and the only ones recognized outside of "The Exorcist" were known after having discussed them in class. This book is a good read for film enjoyers, but a tough read to complete without Wikipedia constantly in hand trying to catch all the references.
