{"product_id":"9783030174491","title":"The Myth of Colorblindness : Race and Ethnicity in American Cinema (1st ed. 2019 2020 xii, 304 S. 1 SW-Abb. 210 mm)","description":"This book explores representations of race and ethnicity in contemporary cinema and the ways in which these depictions all too often promulgate an important racial ideology: the myth of colorblindness.  Colorblindness is a discursive framework employed by mainstream, neoliberal media to celebrate a multicultural society while simultaneously disregarding its systemic and institutionalized racism. This collection is unique in its examination of such films as \u003ci\u003eEx Machina\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Lone Ranger\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Blind Side\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eZootopia\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Fast and the Furious \u003c\/i\u003efranchise, and \u003ci\u003eDope\u003c\/i\u003e, which celebrate the myth of colorblindness, yet perpetuate and entrench the racism and racial inequities that persist in contemporary society.  While the #OscarsSoWhite movement has been essential to bringing about structural changes to media industries and offers the opportunity for a wide diversity of voices to alter and transform the dominant, colorblind narratives continue to proliferate.  As this book demonstrates, Hollywood still has a long way to go.\n\n Introduction.- Part I: Colorblindness.- 2. Colorblindness: The Lens that Distorts.- 3.
