On 29 February 1940, African American actor Hattie McDaniel became the first person of color, and the first Black woman, to win an Academy Award. The moment marked the beginning of Hollywood's reluctant move toward diversity and inclusion. Since then, minorities and women have struggled to attain Academy Awards recognition within a system designed to discriminate against them. For the first time, Hollywood Blackout reveals the untold story of their tumultuous journey from exclusion to inclusion; from segregation to celebration. Author Ben Arogundade interweaves the experiences of Black actors and filmmakers with those of Asians, Latinos, South Asians, indigenous peoples and women. Throughout the decades their progression to the Oscars podium has been galvanized by defiant boycotts, civil rights protests and social media activism such as #OscarsSoWhite. Whether you are a film fan, history lover or diversity advocate, Hollywood Blackout is the quintessential choice for all those who wish to know the real story of Hollywood, the Oscars and the talents who fought to make change Premios Oscar de cine (Estados Unidos) Historia 30578 Cine Premios 30579 Minorías en el cine 49136 Color de la piel humana Aspectos sociales 49137 lcc BK cmc 127242 127242 0 0 lcc 0 0 HU BJB BJB HU 2026-05-26 0 PN 1993.92 A769h 2025 00000199871 2026-05-26 15:14:00 1 2026-05-26 BK
