CSP 6 20th Century Hollywood Representations of Race and Ethnicity
This course uses Hollywood film from the Silent Era to the start of the 21st century to examine changing American attitudes to race and ethnicity. We will analyze how ideas about whiteness and gender intersect constantly with these representations. The focus of our class discussions and writing assignments will be on how these films have created, shaped, or broken images of the raced other in America.
