ETHN 288 Black Cinema

This is a comprehensive exploration of the rich and diverse history of Black film and television across the Americas. It delves into works written, directed by, and starring people of African descent, tracing the development of Black media from the silent film era to the present day. Emphasizing Black cultural production and creative expression, students will analyze how film and television serve as vehicles for protest, resistance, and cultural affirmation. The curriculum incorporates Black studies theoretical frameworks and research methodologies to provide a deeper understanding of how media representations influence and challenge contemporary perspectives on race, gender, sexuality, and societal norms within today's society.
