| Images of Sport and Race in Media and Film |
| What does the latest socio-cultural research tell us about the images and stereotypes of African American athletes and celebrities that abound in American society in our postmodern times? How can we help our students interpret these images in an informed way? Four scholar experts provide their critical views on this provocative topic. "Sport, Race and Film: The Socio-cultural Significance of Media Perceptions", "A Contemporary Analysis of the African American Protagonist in Sport Theme Feature Films", and "Revisiting the Image of Air Jordan: Stereotype Slammer or Floating Racial Signifier." |
