"An extremely fascinating work on southern cinema that extends from actors, literary figures, and industry workers who influenced popular representations of the South to filmmakers who built homes emulating southern mansions to actors who brought their own interpretations of the South to the screen. Jackson intricately interweaves the contributions of African American cinema into this discussion, making it integral to rather than tangential to this engaging, thoughtful, and well researched examination of the South's influence on Hollywood."-- Charlene Regester, University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill "Covering both the famous and the obscure, Jackson's exciting and often surprising volume shows how integral southern topics and southern people were to filmmaking through the 1940s." --Ted Ownby, Center for the Study of Southern Culture, University of Mississippi, "An extremely fascinating work on southern cinema that extends from actors, literary figures, and industry workers who influenced popular representations of the South to filmmakers who built homes emulating southern mansions to actors who brought their own interpretations of the South to the screen.

Synopsis
Fade In, Crossroads is a history of the relations between southerners and motion pictures from the silent era to midcentury. Examining the ways in which the South contributed to the development of the film medium from the late nineteenth century through the golden age of Hollywood, the book sheds light on early production centers of the South such as Jacksonville, Florida and Asheville, North Carolina. It also explores the effects of the migration of millions of black and white southerners beyond the region to such destinations as Los Angeles. Fade In, Crossroads tells the story of how the rise and fall of the American film industry coincided with the rise and fall of the South's most important modern product and export: Jim Crow segregation.In eight chapters, the book details varied encounters of southern literary figures with film as viewers, screenwriters, critics, and occasionally, filmmakers themselves. Fade In, Crossroads¸ takes a crucial look at Southern historical legacies on film: the prolific Civil War film tradition the notorious tradition of lynching films during an era of widespread lynching in the South; and the remarkable race film industry, whose independent African American filmmakers forged an important cinematic tradition in response to the racial limitations of both the South and Hollywood. In its succinct conclusion, Fade In, Crossroads maps the influence of film on future participants in the Civil Rights Movement, such as Martin Luther King, Benjamin Mays, Thurgood Marshall, Katharine Du Pre Lumpkin, James Baldwin, and film-industry veterans like Lena Horne and Paul Robeson., How did the US South contribute to the development of film? And how did film shape the modern South? In Fade In, Crossroads, Robert Jackson tells the story of the relationships between southerners and motion pictures from the silent era through the golden age of Hollywood. Jackson reveals the profound consequences of the coincidence of the rise and fall of the American film industry with the rise and fall of the South's most important modern product andexport: Jim Crow segregation. He considers southern historical legacies on film, from popular Civil War films and comparably popular lynching films emerging in a time of prolific lynching in the South, to theresilient race film industry whose African American filmmakers forged an independent cinematic movement in defiance of the racial restrictions of both the South and Hollywood. He also traces the influence of film on future participants in the Civil Rights Movement, from prominent leaders such as Martin Luther King and Thurgood Marshall to film-industry veterans like Lena Horne and Paul Robeson to the millions of ordinary people, black and white, who found themselves caught up in the strugglefor racial equality in the modern United States., How did the US South contribute to the development of film?
