"The writers discuss Oscar Micheaux's silent drama Body and Soul (1925) and some of the critical discourses of the period. Micheaux's silent films deflated the pretensions of the growing black middle class in 1920s America by supplying images of victimization and poverty too reminiscent of racist depictions that were supposedly defining characteristics of the race and the essence of the African-American condition. Body and Soul challenged the authority of the minister, an important figure in the community, by raising the topic of Rev. Isaiah T. Jenkins's sexual exploits in a female-dominated congregation. The writers link the film to the politics of identity and the search for racial unity at a time when the class structure within the African-American community was becoming more stratified, showing how the film spoke to different audiences and groups in various ways."

"Part of a special issue on interiority in films. Oscar Micheaux's 1919 silent feature film Within Our Gates bends the rules of classical Hollywood form. The film's narrative does not flow forward in a linear way, and it mixes such different genre styles as the melodrama, the gangster film, and the Hollywood romance. Micheaux has opened up a codified form to create a space for a new kind of narrative, one that relies heavily on the interiority of the main characters. He challenges dominant accounts of history and race relations by using an unusual filmic approach to single shots and to larger narrative construction. The writer briefly outlines the key qualities of the single shot in the film and then analyzes the film's narrative form in greater detail." [Art Abstracts]

"One-man Show."(African American film producer and director Oscar Micheaux; includes related article on the preservation of his films) American Film v16, n5 (May, 1991):34 (6 pages).
"Oscar Micheaux was the original auteur of African-American film. Between 1918 and 1948, he wrote, produced, directed, edited, publicized, and distributed as many as 48 silent and sound underground films for the African-Americans who patronized ghetto theaters. The films' themes of interracial love, wrongful accusation, and racial prejudice were obsessively repeated and echoed events in Micheaux's life. Most of Micheaux's films offer plenty of singing and dancing, and he also translated standard Western, gangster, and melodrama fare into a black context. His work was condemned by both black and white critics for its lack of craftsmanship and competence, but it foreshadowed subsequent avant-garde technique. Micheaux's love-hate relationship with his race is expressed in all his work. For every film that focused on the vices of drugs, alcohol, and gambling, there was another celebrating black achievement." [Art Abstracts]

UC users only
"One of the most serious objections to the work of Oscar Micheaux relates to his use of negative racial caricatures, but Micheaux's historical situation has seldom been taken into consideration by those leveling that charge. Micheaux is the most prolific African-American filmmaker ever, producing seven novels and about 40 African-American films, all for black audiences, from 1913 to 1948. He developed his early work during some of the worst setbacks for African-Americans and at a time when black people were played by whites in blackface, as was the case in D. W. Griffith's The Birth of a Nation. Caricature was seen by Micheaux as a prime obstacle to African-American advancement, and its abolition was an early rhetorical objective necessary to his goal. In working toward this end, Micheaux presented caricature for the purpose of criticizing it, the purest example of which was his minstrel caricature in TheDarktown Revue." [from ArtAbstracts]

Film critics and scholars are trying to place Oscar Micheaux, a black filmmaker of the 1920s, as an important figure in the annals of film history.Micheaux produced various types of films such as melodramas, gangster movies and musicals and most of them had racial solidarity and assimilationas their themes. Micheaux's importance in the cultural life of blacks haslong been neglected, but by the early 1990s scholars have started researchon his life and work and so far three books have been published on the filmmaker.

"Prolific black filmmaker Oscar Micheaux (1884-1951) was a unique and compelling figure. His 1925 film Body and Soul articulates a sustained racial politics through its evocation and critique of several plays by white authors about "the Negro soul," including All God's Chillun Got Wings, by Eugene O'Neill. Micheaux was one of America's top producers of silent race films between two world wars. His films were intended for black audiences in a racially segregated society. With around 37 movies credited to him, he occupies the position as the most prolific African-American moviemaker to date. Although only three of his 22 silent movies survive, these identify him as one of the most original and important filmmakers of the silent period." [Art Index]

He wrote melodramatic novels and formed his own film company. He toured the nation with scripts, persuading theater managers to give him an advance against future bookings. He thus had capital and show dates before production. Given the limitations of finances, studio connections, inadequacy of equipment, distribution, and racial climate, Micheaux's initiative, aggressiveness, and success helped open doors for future black actors, screenwriters, and directors."

"Oscar Micheaux, an African-American writer and filmmaker who has emerged as one of the prolific African-American filmmakers in cinema history, promoted and linked several of his films to the court case known as the Rhinelander case. Kip Rhinelander was a wealthy white millionaire who married an African-American woman, Alice Jones, in the mid-1920's. The trial overturned the forced annulment and validated the marriage, despite the racial and sexual politics that dominated the discourse of this period. The author explores sensationalizing of the Rhinelander case by the African-American press and Micheaux's strategic exploitation of the media attention, linking it with his films, employing marketing and promotional strategies to generate appeal for his works among African-American cinema audiences."

A Separate cinema (3 article special section) Film Comment v 21 Sept/Oct 1985. p. 29-46
A special section explores "race films," the alternative cinema created for blacks that flourished until the late 1940s. The section consists of a history of the phenomenon and its major figures, such as director Oscar Micheaux, and an analysis of the problems of black artists in today's "integrated" film industry. Several posters for race films are pictured.

"Patrolling The Boundaries Of Race: Motion Picture Censorship And Jim Crow In Virginia, 1922-1932." Historical Journal of Film, Radio and Television 2001 21(3): 273-291
"In 1922, the Virginia General Assembly authorized the creation of a Board of Censors and charged it with reviewing all films submitted for public viewing. While the guidelines given the board did not explicitly address racial issues, Virginia's censors prohibited film portrayals of intimate or friendly interracial contact, negative representations of whites, and threats to the social order, including anything showing the potential for interracial violence. Virginia wanted to preserve the illusion of racial amity, but the only way to do that and preserve "racial integrity" was to whitewash race relations. The motion pictures of black filmmaker Oscar Micheaux, including Birthright (1924), A Son of Satan (1924), The House Behind the Cedars (1924), and Veiled Aristocrats (1932), directly addressed the daily reality of black experience. His nuanced images of blacks were perceived to be a threat to white supremacy in Virginia and, for that reason, his films were heavily censored if not banned outright." [America History and Life]
