{"product_id":"9781501305832","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.","brand":"Bloomsbury USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47145275162864,"sku":"9781501305832","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781501305832_p0.jpg?v=1763707618","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781501305832","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
