Race and Cultural Practice in Popular Culture
This innovative work explores race as a social construct made real in popular culture forms like film, television, and music. Contributors move beyond static ideas of identity and stereotypes, bridging the gap between theories of community and cultural representation. The collection brings together diverse academic theories and methods to examine race as an ideological reality that continues to impact lives, despite claims of a post-racial America. It is divided into three parts: Visualizing Race, Sounding Race, and Racialization in Place, analyzing racial representations across visual, audio, and geographic contexts.
