Writing home : Whiteness, Blackness, and the showdown in the big house -- The legacy of type : minstrelsy, lynching, and White lore cycles -- Court gestures : cultural gerrymandering and the games that Black men play -- The last blackface? : forays into film's empty space of representation -- "Holler if ya hear me" : Black men, (bad) rap(s), and the return of the Black brute
This thought-provoking text examines popular culture's reliance on long-standing stereotypes of black men as animalistic, hypersexual, dangerous criminals, whose actions, attitudes, dress, and language both repel and attract white audiences
