Ethnic Notions
- 1987 ----- color ----- 56 min ----- vhs
- Presents a disturbing voyage through American history for the first time tracing the deeply-rooted stereotypes which have fueled anti-Black prejudice. Examines specific stereotypes in detail. Interweaves minstrel shows, greeting cards, advertisements, popular songs, cartoons, films and household artifacts showing hideously caricatured Blacks. These gruesome caricatures helped justify segregation, disenfranchisement, even lynchings. Explains how these dehumanizing portrayals exacted a devastating toll on the Black American psyche and continue to affect Black people to this day.
- Topics: (Advertising, American Ethnic Studies: Afro-American, Anthropology)
