Abstract Details

2006, Master of Arts, Miami University, Mass Communication.
This paper is an analysis of the depiction of African-American women’s rage in mainstream American film. The thesis analyzes the films Coffy, The Color Purple, Waiting to Exhale, and Two Can Play That Game. The paper focuses on the negative images of African-American women’s rage in film. It then contextualizes those images within a racist and sexist paradigm. An ideological analysis is used in this paper as well as a Black Feminist theoretical critique.
