- Description
- Using critical race theory and film studies to explore the interconnectedness between cinema and society, the author traces the history of mixed-race representations in American and French filmmaking from early and silent cinema to the present day. With a focus on female black-white mixed race, such as the tragic mulatta figure. Through analyses of over 40 movies, and case studies of key films from the 1910s on, this book illuminates shifts in local and global cinema, exploring discourses of subjectivity, race, gender, sexuality and class.
