Hollywood at the Intersection of Race and Identity explores the
ways Hollywood represents race, gender, class, and nationality at
the intersection of aesthetics and ideology and its productive
tensions. This collection of essays asks to what degree can a close
critical analysis of films, that is, reading them against their own
ideological grain, reveal contradictions and tensions in
Hollywood's task of erecting normative cultural standards? How do
some films perhaps knowingly undermine their inherent ideology by
opening a field of conflicting and competing intersecting
identities? The challenge set out in this volume is to revisit
well-known films in search for a narrative not exclusively
constituted by the Hollywood formula and to answer the questions:
What lies beyond the frame? What elements contradict a film's
sustained illusion of a normative world? Where do films betray
their own ideology and most importantly what intersectional spaces
of identity do they reveal or conceal?
