	African American Review: Fashioning the body [as] politic in Julie Dash's Daughters of the Dust
		On the surface, the film's plot is quite simple: the characters struggle to reconcile their history of enslavement and their geographical and cultural isolation with the potential freedom and socioeconomic progress that their immigration from the island to the mainland promises.
		Snead, the photographer she has hired to document the crossing over, migration represents the family's "first steps toward progress, an engraved invitation to the culture and wealth of the mainland." (1) Among the first uttered in the film, these words direct attention to the historicity of the family's movement.
		Whereas Dash focuses on cultural and historical sensibilities, however, I want to argue here that her film narrates political sensibilities as it consciously refuses to enter the "entanglements of market and visual economies" that have made sociopolitical sense of the flwoman's body (Collins 103).

		Ultimately, her cinematic style of rich characterizations, varying narrative techniques and bold cinematography constitutes a film signature for Dash that means her films educate, entertain, as well as agitate the cultural politics of mainstream American society.
