Consequently, there is an uncomfortable and often awkward frankness associated with virtually all of Tarantino?s films, particularly when it comes to race and blackness. Yet beyond the debate over whether Tarantino is or is not racist is the fact that his films effectively articulate racial anxieties circulating in American society as they engage longstanding racial discourses and hint at emerging trends. This radical racial politics?always present in Tarantino?s films but kept very much on the quiet?is the subject of Race on the QT. Adilifu Nama concisely deconstructs and reassembles the racial dynamics woven into Reservoir Dogs, True Romance, Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, Kill Bill: Vol. 1, Kill Bill: Vol. 2, Death Proof, Inglourious Basterds, and Django Unchained, as they relate to historical and current racial issues in America. Nama?s eclectic fusion of cultural criticism and film analysis looks beyond the director?s personal racial attitudes and focuses on what Tarantino?s filmic body of work has said and is saying about race in America symbolically, metaphorically, literally, impolitely, cynically, sarcastically, crudely, controversially, and brilliantly. 606 $aAfrican Americans in motion pictures 615 0$aAfrican Americans in motion pictures. 676 $a791.4302/33092 700 $aNama$b Adilifu$01088667 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910818955703321 996 $aRace on the QT$93968428 997 $aUNINA
