Synopsis:

Did you know that there is race in your movie?! Prepare yourself, for this is the report that Hollywood doesn’t want you to see! Picking up where texts like Donald Bogle’s “Toms, Coons, Mulattoes, Mammies & Bucks,” left off, learn how to consistently critically analyze race in mainstream movies. This 330-page text identifies distinct patterns for both White and non-White characters in mainstream movies that often remain "hidden in plain view." With over 65 new vocabulary terms and references to over 500 different movies and actors, the book provides an eye-opening look at the entire movie industry and the "role" race plays within it. After reading this book, you will never see movies the same way again!

About the Author: Dr. Gooding (PhD, Georgetown Univ.) is an internationally-traveled expert on race relations. In this manuscript, he succinctly, clearly and confidently provides a useful rubric for understanding and analyzing the relationship between race and Hollywood movies -- not just for black characters, but for all characters (including whites!). After reading, you will NEVER see movies the same way again!
