This event, the first successful revolution by enslaved people in modern history, sent shock waves throughout the Atlantic World. Regardless of its historical significance however, this revolution has become less well-known-and appears less often on screen-than most other revolutions; its story, involving enslaved Africans liberating themselves through violence, does not match the suffering-slaves-waiting-for-a-white-hero genre that pervades Hollywood treatments of Black history. Despite Hollywood's near-silence on this event, some films on the Revolution do exist-from directors in Haiti, the US, France, and elsewhere. Slave Revolt on Screen offers the first-ever comprehensive analysis of Haitian Revolution cinema, including completed films and planned projects that were never made. In addition to studying cinema, this book also breaks ground in examining video games, a pop-culture form long neglected by historians. Sepinwall scrutinizes video game depictions of Haitian slave revolt that appear in games like the Assassin's Creed series that have reached millions more players than comparable films. In analyzing films and games on the revolution, Slave Revolt on Screen calls attention to the ways that economic legacies of slavery and colonialism warp pop-culture portrayals of the past and leave audiences with distorted understandings"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Revolutions in motion pictures. 650 0 $a Black people in motion pictures. 651 0 $a Haiti $x History $y Revolution, 1791-1804. 650 0 $a Video games $x History. 650 0 $a Motion pictures $z Haiti. 651 0 $a Haiti $x History. 650 0 $a Slavery in motion pictures. 650 6 $a Revolutions au cinema. 650 6 $a Noirs au cinema. 651 6 $a HaiÂti $x Histoire $y 1791-1804 (Revolution) 650 6 $a Jeux video $x Histoire. 651 6 $a HaiÂti $x Histoire. 650 6 $a Esclavage au cinema. 650 7 $a HISTORY / Americas (North, Central, South, West Indies) $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Video games. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01166421 650 7 $a Slavery in motion pictures. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01120518 650 7 $a Motion pictures. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01027285 650 7 $a Revolutions in motion pictures. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01096774 650 7 $a Black people in motion pictures. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00834029 651 7 $a Haiti. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205135 648 7 $a 1791-1804 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Sepinwall, Alyssa Goldstein, 1970- $t Slave revolt on screen $d Jackson : University Press of Mississippi, 2021. $z 9781496833129 $w (DLC) 2021006499 830 0 $a Caribbean studies series (Jackson, Miss.) 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117012020.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F4A43BDA3D8C11EE8AE814B62EECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
