Leading scholars address the myriad ways in which America's
attitudes about race informed the production of Hollywood films
from the 1920s through the 1960s. From the predominantly white star
system to segregated mise-en-scenes, Hollywood films reinforced
institutionalized racism. The contributors to this volume examine
how assumptions about white superiority and colored inferiority and
the politics of segregation and assimilation affected Hollywood's
classic period. Contributors: Eric Avila, UCLA; Aaron Baker,
