For undergraduates and graduate students of film and media studies and philosophy, an analysis of mainstream cinema's participation in societal racism. Rocchio (film studies, Dartmouth) analyzes how films produce meaning and how those meanings in turn lead to a broad process of justifying, naturalizing, or legitimizing difference, privilege, and violence based on race. The text grew out of a series of lectures Rocchio developed for a course on racism and representation at St. John's U. , Queens. Annotation c. Book News, Inc. , Portland, OR (booknews. com)
