- Description
- Besides paying attention to how black people, especially black men, were described in horror movies in the 1950's, author also looks how women were presented in these movies. Coloured people were pictured as being primitive while white people as being civilized. The connection between white femininity and black masculinity had to be managed very carefully since it poses a real threat to white patriarchy. White women represent the possibilities within evolution, of both forward and backward movement: they mark the space between the civilized and the primitive, a position of intense and anxious visibility, as contrasted to the relative marginalization or invisibility of women of color. In these films, the primitive beast and the victimized white female refuse to stay fixed in the evolutionary temporal schema, and the male body is revealed to be something other than the perfection of evolutionary development.

- Description
- This essay investigates the politics of motherhood in Breeder by extension the third wave's thinking on reproductive rights and motherhood. While Breeder recounts the experiences of young women carrying on the feminist struggle for reproductive rights and childcare, it also reveals the third wave's problematic celebration of 'choice.' Breeder's mission falters when compared with Sapphire's novel PUSH (1996), a feminist work of fiction about an African American teenage mother with two children living in Harlem. Sapphire's novel conjures the genealogy of the term 'breeder' as a racist label for black mothers from slavery through welfare reform.

- Description
- Not only has the blatant racism of minstrelsy made white impersonations of blacks seem shameful, it has also spilled over to discourage scholarship about its ongoing impact on American culture'. Despite a certain academic resistance to legitimize blackface as a topic of scholarly inquiry, the theatricality of minstrelsy suggests similarities with gendered performances like drag, which has been established as a rich subject for critical exploration.
