{"product_id":"critical-race-theory-and-bamboozled-alessandra-raengo-9781501305795","title":"Critical Race Theory and Bamboozled","description":"The Film Theory in Practice series fills a gaping hole in the world of film theory. By marrying the explanation of film theory with interpretation of a film, the volumes provide discrete examples of how film theory can serve as the basis for textual analysis. The third book in the series, \u003ci\u003eCritical Race Theory and Bamboozled\u003c\/i\u003e, offers a concise introduction to Critical Race Theory in jargon-free language and shows how this theory can be deployed to interpret Spike Lee's critically acclaimed 2000 film \u003ci\u003eBamboozled\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe most common approach to issues of \"race\" and \"otherness\" continues to focus primarily on questions of positive vs. negative representations and stereotype analysis. Critical Race Theory, instead, designates a much deeper reflection on the constitutive role of race in the legal, social, and aesthetic formations of US culture, including the cinema, where \u003ci\u003eBamboozled\u003c\/i\u003e provides endless examples for discussion and analysis. Alessandra Raengo's \u003ci\u003eCritical Race Theory and Bamboozled\u003c\/i\u003eis the first to connect usually specialized considerations of race to established fields of inquiry in the humanities, particularly those concerned with issues of representation, capital, power, affect, and desire.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alessandra Raengo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1501305794\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501305795\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/20\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 5.00w x 0.70d","brand":"Alessandra Raengo","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43935194677503,"sku":"9781501305795","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_48890399-e227-4741-aad4-278737ba2552.jpg?v=1681418406","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/critical-race-theory-and-bamboozled-alessandra-raengo-9781501305795","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
