This collection is unique in its examination of such films as \u003ci\u003eEx Machina\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Lone Ranger\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Blind Side\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eZootopia\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Fast and the Furious \u003c\/i\u003efranchise, and \u003ci\u003eDope\u003c\/i\u003e, which celebrate the myth of colorblindness, yet perpetuate and entrench the racism and racial inequities that persist in contemporary society.  While the #OscarsSoWhite movement has been essential to bringing about structural changes to media industries and offers the opportunity for a wide diversity of voices to alter and transform the dominant, colorblind narratives continue to proliferate.  As this book demonstrates, Hollywood still has a long way to go.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2020-10-09\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783030174491\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-030-17447-7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 304\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47710083711116,"sku":"9783030174491","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783030174491.jpg?v=1776785379","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783030174491","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
