Racial Stigma on the Hollywood Screen from World War II to the Present : The Orientalist Buddy Film, Paperback / softback Book

Racial Stigma on the Hollywood Screen from World War II to the Present : The Orientalist Buddy Film Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

Racial Stigma on the Hollywood Screen from WWII to the Present charts how the dominant white and black binary of American racial discourse influences Hollywood s representation of the Asian.

The Orientalist buddy film draws a scenario in which two buddies, one white and one black, transcend an initial hatred for one another by joining forces against a foreign Asian menace.

Alongside an analysis of multiple genres of film, Brian Locke argues that this triangulated rendering of race ameliorates the longstanding historical contradiction between U.S. democratic ideals and white America s persistent domination over blacks.
