AB The aim of this dissertation is to determine the way in which the Hollywoodrepresentation of African-American culture has evolved throughout the history ofcinema and establish if this image is based on stereotypes assigned to this culture overthe years or on real images of it. In order to carry out this investigation it has beennecessary to compile the most relevant historical facts of the USA concerning African-Americans, as well as a deep analysis of three films from different periods of timewhose common denominator is the representation of African-American culture.The conclusion reached is that, even though the image of African-American peopleportrayed in movies has improved over the years, nevertheless the films made inHollywood continue to distort historical facts about African-American culture, and thiscreates new stereotypes which are regarded as being true by cinema-goers.
