A Hollywood history told from the perspective of those that fought for diversity, inclusion and acknowledgementAre the Oscars (still) so white? Is it even possible to decolonize the film industry? Why is Hollywoods race problem everyones problem?Ignoring the systemic racial inequalities in film is losing the industry $10 billion a year. Yet, parity, diversity, and inclusion are fundamental issues that the Oscar Awards are only just beginning to address.In this book, awardwinning writer, broadcaster, model, and fashion designer, Ben Arogundade, provides a manual for deconstructing everything you thought you knew about Hollywood documenting the stories and struggles of black artists within the movie industry that have so far been left out of the canon.The chapters are structured chronologically around different Oscar winners, from Hattie McDaniel to Halle Berry. Each section is rich with exhaustive research from critics, activists, and academics, as well as interviews with stars and those within the film industry, to demonstrate sociological and historical influences on black artists, highlight positive progress, and make you realize that certain attitudes still remain.Hollywood Blackout is a muchneeded provocation to look more critically at the accepted narratives within film, and examine how the industry both reflects and influences societal views on race.

I appreciate the topic, but I was hoping for more in-depth analysis. The stories are compelling, yet some areas felt rushed. Still, it’s a decent book if you're looking for a quick overview of racial dynamics in Hollywood.

Great read for film buffs
As a huge fan of cinema, I found "The Battle for Recognition in a White Hollywood" to be eye-opening. The way it tackles representation issues is powerful and relevant. It’s a must-read if you care about the film industry!

Not what I expected
I thought this would be a more serious look into Hollywood's issues, but it felt a bit superficial. Still, it has some interesting insights. If you're into film history, it might be worth a read, but don’t expect deep analysis.
