In the first book devoted to Charles Burnett, a crucial figure in the history of American cinema often regarded as the most influential member of the L.A. Rebellion group of African American filmmakers, James Naremore provides a close critical study of all Burnett&rsquo;s major pictures for movies and television, including <I>Killer of Sheep</I>, <I>To Sleep with Anger</I>, <I>The Glass Shield</I>, <I>Nightjohn</I>, <I>The Wedding</I>, <I>Nat Turner: A Troublesome Property</I>, and <I>Warming by the Devil&rsquo;s Fire</I>. Having accessed new information and rarely seen material, Naremore shows that Burnett&rsquo;s career has developed against the odds and that his artistry, social criticism, humor, and commitment to what he calls &ldquo;symbolic knowledge&rdquo; have given his work enduring value for American culture.
