About this listen

Melanin in Movies examines how Hollywood shapes the perception of Black Americans. This book challenges the idea that Hollywood is just about entertainment, exploring how the film industry actively influences society's view of Black people. It looks at the history of propaganda in cinema and shows how Hollywood has used its power to reinforce political and cultural biases and systemic inequalities. By analyzing key examples and trends in Black representation, Melanin in Movies reveals how film can be both a tool for liberation and a means of oppression. With a focus on the link between art, politics, and social change, this book provides a compelling and thought-provoking look at the power dynamics in cinema.
