The Persistence of Whiteness investigates the representation and
narration of race in contemporary Hollywood cinema. Ideologies of
class, ethnicity, gender, nation and sexuality are central concerns
as are the growth of the business of filmmaking. Focusing on
representations of Black, Asian, Jewish, Latina/o and Native
Americans identities, this collection also shows how whiteness is a
fact everywhere in contemporary Hollywood cinema, crossing
audiences, authors, genres, studios and styles. Bringing together
essays from respected film scholars, the collection covers a wide
range of important films, including Guess Who's Coming to Dinner,
The Color Purple, Star Wars and The Lord of the Rings. Essays also
consider genres from the western to blaxploitation and new black
cinema; provocative filmmakers such as Melvin Van Peebles and
Steven Spielberg and stars including Whoopi Goldberg and Jennifer
Lopez. Daniel Bernardi provides an in-depth introduction,
comprehensive bibliography and a helpful glossary of terms, thus
providing students with an accessible and topical collection on
race and ethnicity in contemporary cinema.
