Description: This collection of essays examines intersectional identities of race/ethnicity, gender/sexuality, class, and nationality in Hollywood cinema. Intersectionality, traditionally associated with social activism, is used here more liberally as a critical and analytic tool to explore films, expressing multiple points of views and multiple ways of looking at films.
Review Quotes: "Wide ranging and critically deep, Hollywood at the Intersection of Race and Identity addresses the persistence of race in Hollywood film with considerable implications for the intersection of racism, misogyny, and identity we see today on big and small screens alike."
--Daniel Bernardi "editor of Race in American Film: Voices and Visions that Shaped a Nation"
