Como directoras, guionistas, productoras y distribuidoras, las mujeres afroamericanas contribuyeron de manera decisiva en los orígenes de la industria cinematográfica estadounidense. La escala de valores del heteropatriarcado occidental que aún domina el negocio destinó durante casi un siglo a estas pioneras y sus trabajos a un severo oscurantismo del cual comenzaron a emerger a finales del siglo XX a través de las investigaciones realizadas por varias historiadoras, cineastas y críticas afroamericanas. En esta comunicación pondré en valor las aportaciones de estas precursoras al desarrollo del cine estadounidense como contribuciones fundamentales a la representación de la diversidad de raza, género y clase
As directors, scriptwriters, producers and distributors, African American women played a decisive role in the origin of the motion pictures industry in the United States. For almost a century, the white patriarchal values that still dominate the business have sent these pioneers and their works to a severe obscurantism. The research initiated by African American women historians, filmmakers and critics by the end of the 20th century brought to the forefront these pioneers and their works. This paper offers a brief introduction to these cinematic foremothers as fundamental figures in the cinema of the United States offering varied representations of race, gender and class.
