Hollywood Fantasies of Miscegenation by Susan Courtney
Analyzes white fantasies of interracial desire in the history of popular American film. With readings of films like D W Griffith's 1915, The Birth of a Nation and of key forgotten films and censorship documents, this book argues that dominant fantasies of miscegenation have had a profound impact on the form and content of American cinema.
"With Hollywood Fantasies of Miscegenation: Spectacular Narratives of Gender and Race, 1903-1967, Susan Courtney offers an important work that should serve as the starting point for any analysis of the depiction of race and gender in film.. Simply put, Hollywood Fantasies of Miscegenation belongs on the bookshelf of every serious scholar and student of film."--Richard John Ascarate, MEDIEN
