Shadow and Myth: On Stranger Inside and Moonlight.This book offers a critical survey of film and media representations of black masculinity in the early twenty-first-century United States, between President George W. Bush's 2001 announcement of the War on Terror and President Barack Obama's 2009 acceptance of the Nobel Peace Prize. It argues that images of black masculine authority have become increasingly important to the legitimization of contemporary policing and its leading role in the maintenance of an antiblack social order forged by racial slavery and segregation. It examines a constellation of film and television productions-from Antoine Fuqua's Training Day to John Lee Hancock's The Blind Side to Barry Jenkin's Moonlight-to illuminate the contradictory dynamics at work in attempts to reconcile the promotion of black male patriarchal empowerment and the preservation of gendered antiblackness within political and popular culture.CommunicationCultureStudy and teachingAfrican AmericansCultureSexMotion pictures, AmericanUnited StatesHistoryMedia and CommunicationCultural StudiesAfrican American CultureGender StudiesAmerican Film and TVUS HistoryCommunication.CultureStudy and teaching.African Americans.Culture.Sex.Motion pictures, American.United StatesHistory.Media and Communication.Cultural Studies.African American Culture.Gender Studies.American Film and TV.US History.791.4365204108996073Sexton Jared Yatesauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1871929MiFhGGMiFhGGBOOK9910255074603321Black Masculinity and the Cinema of Policing4486624UNINA
