La storia della questione razziale nel cinema dell'epoca di Obama

2017 - Franco Angeli

125-143 p.

  • This article examines the representation of both the fight against slavery and the black freedom struggle in selected U.S. movies produced during the Obama administration. Specifically, it assesses to what an extent such films took recent scholarly findings into account. It concludes that, while grassroots mobilization and female activism are sometimes acknowledged, the narratives tend to stress the centrality of the contribution by institutions and white men to African Americans' achievements.
