American Racist The Life and Films of Thomas Dixon The book "American Racist The Life and Films of Thomas Dixon" tells the story of one of the most influential figures in the history of cinema, Thomas Dixon, who was not only a talented filmmaker but also a racist who used his art to promote his hateful ideology. The author delves into Dixon's life, from his early days as a struggling actor to his rise to fame as a director, and examines how his beliefs shaped his work and impacted the industry. The book begins with Dixon's childhood, where he grew up in a small town in the southern United States, surrounded by racial segregation and discrimination. Despite this, he developed a passion for acting and filmmaking, which led him to move to Hollywood to pursue his dreams. However, his success was short-lived, as his racist views soon became apparent, and he found himself ostracized by the industry. Despite this setback, Dixon continued to make films that promoted his racist agenda, often using stereotypes and caricatures to perpetuate negative attitudes towards people of color. His films were popular among white audiences, but they were met with widespread criticism and controversy. The author argues that Dixon's work was not only harmful but also reinforced damaging stereotypes about people of color, contributing to systemic racism in America.
American Racist The Life and Films of Thomas Dixon Книга «American Racist The Life and Films of Thomas Dixon» повествует об одной из самых влиятельных фигур в истории кино, Томасе Диксоне, который был не только талантливым режиссером, но и расистом, использовавшим свое искусство для продвижения своей ненавистной идеологии. Автор углубляется в жизнь Диксона, начиная с его первых дней в качестве борющегося актера и до его восхождения к славе как режиссера, и исследует, как его убеждения сформировали его работу и повлияли на индустрию. Книга начинается с детства Диксона, где он вырос в небольшом городке на юге США, окружённом расовой сегрегацией и дискриминацией. Несмотря на это, у него появилась страсть к актёрскому мастерству и кинопроизводству, что привело его к переезду в Голливуд, чтобы осуществить свои мечты. Однако его успех был недолгим, так как его расистские взгляды вскоре стали очевидны, и он оказался подвергнутым остракизму со стороны индустрии. Несмотря на эту неудачу, Диксон продолжал снимать фильмы, пропагандирующие его расистскую повестку, часто используя стереотипы и карикатуры для увековечивания негативного отношения к цветным людям. Его фильмы пользовались популярностью среди белой аудитории, но были встречены широкой критикой и полемикой. Автор утверждает, что работа Диксон была не только вредной, но и укрепляла разрушительные стереотипы о цветных людях, способствуя системному расизму в Америке.
American Racist The Life and Film of Thomas Dixon Il libro «American Racist The Life and Film of Thomas Dixon» racconta una delle figure più influenti della storia del cinema, Thomas Dixon, che non solo era un regista di talento, ma anche un razzista che usava la sua arte per promuovere la sua ideologia odiata. L'autore approfondisce la vita di Din, dai suoi primi giorni come attore in lotta fino alla sua ascesa alla fama come regista, e indaga su come le sue convinzioni hanno formato il suo lavoro e influenzato l'industria. Il libro inizia con l'infanzia di Din, dove è cresciuto in una piccola cittadina nel sud degli Stati Uniti circondata dalla segregazione razziale e dalla discriminazione. Nonostante ciò, ebbe una passione per la recitazione e la produzione cinematografica che lo portò a trasferirsi a Hollywood per realizzare i suoi sogni. Ma il suo successo fu breve, perché le sue opinioni razziste divennero ben presto evidenti e fu ostracizzato dall'industria. Nonostante questo fallimento, Din continuava a produrre film che promuovevano la sua agenda razzista, spesso usando stereotipi e caricature per perpetuare il suo atteggiamento negativo verso le persone di colore. I suoi film erano popolari tra il pubblico bianco, ma erano stati accolti da critiche e polemiche. L'autore sostiene che il lavoro di Din non è stato solo dannoso, ma ha anche rafforzato gli stereotipi distruttivi sulle persone di colore, favorendo il razzismo sistemico in America.
