This book brings specialists in religious studies,
African-American studies, history, and political science, together
with a media librarian to examine violence as it is presented in
films and how instructors can use films to teach about violence.
The object of inquiry is the vulnerability of socially oppressed
people to physical violence and to institutionalized patterns of
discrimination, herein termed structural violence. The
susceptibility of women to violence provides an example that is
discussed in detail, revealing both merits and weaknesses in film
treatment of gender. The full effect of violence is considered,
from the abuse of the individual to the wartime mobilization of
entire societies. Chapters also look at the benefits and problems
of using films in the classroom and provide resources helpful to
instructors, such as sample discussion and study guides, a
bibliography, and a filmography.
