This thesis analyzes how Barack Obama's election influenced the development of African American cinema during that period. With a panel of 30 films made by Black filmmakers released between 2008 and 2017, the study tests three hypotheses on the kind of cinema that emerged during the Obama years. We found that two forms of cinema co-existed during that period, mostly delimited by the fact they are from Hollywood or from independent cinema. Nonetheless, we point out the fact that Obama's election gave a confidence boost to the Black movie industry by allowing it to express its voice regarding various topics, previously taboo. Ce mémoire analyse comment l'élection de Barack Obama a influencé le developpement du cinéma Afro-Américain de cette période. Avec un panel de 30 films réalisés par des Noirs et sortis entre 2008 et 2017, le travail teste trois hypothèses concernant le type de cinéma qui émerge durant les années Obama. Nous avons découvert que deux formes de cinéma co-existait pendant la période, et qu'ils se différenciaient la plupart du temps par leur appartenance au cinéma Hollywoodien ou indépendant. Néanmoins, nous montrons que l'élection d'Obama a donné un coup de boost à la production Afro-Américaine en lui permettant de s'exprimer sur plusieurs sujets, autrefois tabous.

On April 1, 1950, Drew, then forty-five years old, died after an auto accident in rural North Carolina. Within hours, rumors spread: he had bled to death because a whites-only hospital refused to treat him.

Autobiography of an Ex-White Man is an intensely personal meditation on the nature of America by a White Philosopher who joined a Black Studies Department and found his understanding of the world transformed by the experience. The book begins with an autobiographical narrative of the events leading up to Wolff's transfer from a Philosophy Department to the W. E. B. Du Bois Department of Afro-American Studies at the University of Massachusetts, and his experiences in the Department with his new colleagues, all of whom had come to Academia from the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s.
Wolff discovered that the apparently simple act of moving across campus to a new Department in a new building worked a startling change in the way he saw himself, his university, and his country. Reading as widely as possible to bring himself up to speed in his new field of academic responsibility, Wolff realized after a bit that his picture of American history and culture was undergoing an irreversible metamorphosis. America, he realized, has from its inception been a land both of Freedom and of Bondage: Freedom for the few, and then for those who are White; Bondage at first for the many, and then for those who are not White. Slavery is thus not an aberration, an accident, a Peculiar Institution -- it is the essence and core of the American experience.
Wolff's optimistic outlook leads him to express the hope that our acknowledging the realities of America's racial history and present will begin to tear down the formidable barrier to change. He sees this refashioning of the American story as a first step toward the crafting of a truly liberatory project.

Robert Paul Wolff is Professor of Afro-American Studies at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst and the author of numerous books, including Introductory Philosophy and In Defense of Anarchism.
