Description: This book looks at how different groups of individuals, separated from one another superficially by ethnicity, race and sex, function as writers in Hollywood. Questions of discrimination, values and creativity are raised. The remarks of individuals describing their personal struggles as well as industry machinations make compelling reading. In one sense, this is a study of emerging powers in the making, a drama much larger than the reality of Hollywood.

Because of this, the book has broad appeal and will attract an audience interested in Hollywood and the entertainment industry. In addition, it will appeal to readers concerned with the current state of mass culture, American society and the majority-minority relationships.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 155-157) and index.
