From Uncle Tom's Cabin to The Help 2014th ed. H 268 p. 14
内容
Examining a wide range of texts and films, including Uncle Tom's Cabin, The Help, Django Unchained, and The Blind Side, this collection of essays boldly investigates the promise and perils of racial ventriloquism, that is, when white authors appropriate the history and stories of black life. The last decade in particular has seen a notable rise in very popular depictions of African-American life created by white writers and directors. While these narratives have achieved popular acclaim, they have also been the subject of critical controversy, demonstrating that the much touted 'post-racial America' has yet to come to terms with the power of race in contemporary imaginative and social lives.
