POLI 141 SC - Politics of Race and American Popular Film


This seminar investigates the social, political, and ethical issues surrounding representations of race in American popular film. Premised upon the insight that “race” is a social rather than a biological category, it examines racial identities as products of political relationships as well as sources of powerful political claims. The seminar uses film texts to gain a sharper understanding of the role of race in American politics as well as exploring the significance of popular film in constructing and defining racialized public memory.

Course Credit: 1.0
