"The Biscuit Eater": Racial Stereotypes, 1939-1972
Kliman, Bernice W.
Phylon, 39, 1, 87-96, Spr 78
The story "The Biscuit Eater" and the two films made from it can be used as a paradigm of the image of blacks in works made by whites. However, unlike those of 1940, reviewers of the 1972 Disney film were critical of every racially insensitive nuance, representing progress in racial awareness. (Author/GC)
