Playing the Race Card: Melodramas of Black and White from Uncle Tom to O. J. Simpson
Linda Williams
The black man suffering at the hands of whites, the white woman sexually threatened by the black man. Both images have long been burned into the American conscience through popular entertainment, and they exert a disturbing influence on Americans' understanding of race. This work explores how these images took root.
