Kara Keeling contends that cinema and cinematic processes had a profound significance for twentiethcentury anticapitalist Black Liberation movements based in the United States. Drawing on Gilles Deleuzes notion of the cinematicnot just as a phenomenon confined to movingimage media such as film and television but as a set of processes involved in the production and reproduction of social reality itself Keeling describes how the cinematic structures racism, homophobia, and misogyny, and, in the process, denies viewers access to certain images and ways of knowing. She theorizes the black femme as a figure who, even when not explicitly represented within hegemonic cinematic formulations of raced and gendered subjectivities, nonetheless haunts those representations, threatening to disrupt them by making alternative social arrangements visible.Keeling draws on the thought of Frantz Fanon, Angela Davis, Karl Marx, Antonio Gramsci, and others in addition to Deleuze. She pursues the elusive figure of the black femme through Haile Gerimas film Sankofa, images of women in the Black Panther Party, Pam Griers roles in the blaxploitation films of the early 1970s, F. Gary Grays film Set It Off, and Kasi Lemmonss Eves Bayou.
