The Film Theory in Practice series fills a gaping hole in the world
of film theory. By marrying the explanation of film theory with
interpretation of a film, the volumes provide discrete examples of
how film theory can serve as the basis for textual analysis. The
third book in the series, Critical Race Theory and Bamboozled,
offers a concise introduction to Critical Race Theory in
jargon-free language and shows how this theory can be deployed to
interpret Spike Lee's critically acclaimed 2000 film Bamboozled.
The most common approach to issues of "race" and "otherness"
continues to focus primarily on questions of positive vs. negative
representations and stereotype analysis. Critical Race Theory,
instead, designates a much deeper reflection on the constitutive
role of race in the legal, social, and aesthetic formations of US
culture, including the cinema, where Bamboozled provides endless
examples for discussion and analysis. Alessandra Raengo's Critical
Race Theory and Bamboozled is the first to connect usually
specialized considerations of race to established fields of inquiry
in the humanities, particularly those concerned with issues of
representation, capital, power, affect, and desire.
