It surveys recent developments in critical race studies and introduces key concepts that have helped shape the field such as Black masculinity, white privilege, the Black body, and miscegenation. The book''s analysis of \u003ci\u003eGet Out \u003c\/i\u003esituates it within the context of the American horror film, illustrating how contemporary debates in critical race theory and approaches to the analysis of mainstream Hollywood cinema can illuminate each other. In this way, the book provides both an accessible reference guide to key terminology in critical race studies and film studies, while contributing new scholarship to both fields.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGet Out. Candyman. The Sunken Place. The “Final Brother.” Wynter presents a pedagogical masterpiece that explores legacies of anti-Black violence at the intersections of horror films and critical race theory. Wynter’s brilliance is on full display in this exquisitely written book. In fastening the theoretical and artistic to each other, he centers Black articulations of oppression at a time when it is most politically urgent. * Robin R. Means Coleman, Professor of Communications Studies, Northwestern University, USA and author of Horror Noire: Blacks in American Horror Films from the 1890s to Present *\u003cbr\u003eBoth a primer in critical race theory and an exemplary work of cinematic close reading, Wynter makes a convincing case for \u003ci\u003eGet Out \u003c\/i\u003eas a film that short-circuits everything we thought we knew about the horror genre. Jordan Peele’s film, Wynter contends, is neither speculative nor allegorical but is rather a rigorously realistic portrayal of Black experience in the \"traumatic present.\" \u003ci\u003eCritical Race Theory and Jordan Peele’s Get Out\u003c\/i\u003e offers an indispensable elaboration of the intersection between critical race theory and film. * Scott Krzych, Associate Professor of Film and Media Studies, Colorado College, USA *\u003cbr\u003eConceptually rich, lucid, as timely and as harrowing as \u003ci\u003eGet Out\u003c\/i\u003e itself, Kevin Wynter’s compelling text puts Critical Race Theory and Peele’s film in a mutually illuminating dialog that fully does justice to both. Wynter mines the tension between history and ontology with rigor and elegance, giving full weight to pessimism but also insisting on the fundamental challenge CRT and \u003ci\u003eGet Out\u003c\/i\u003e leave us with: to ask, impossibly, how could things be otherwise, in the wake of slavery and racist violence? * Brian Wall, Associate Professor of Cinema, Binghamton University, USA *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAcknowledgements \u003c\/i\u003e  Introduction Section 1: Critical Race Theory Section 2: Critical Race Theory and Jordan Peele's \u003ci\u003eGet Out\u003c\/i\u003e Conclusion  \u003ci\u003eFurther Reading\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eSuggested Films and Media\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eIndex\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing Plc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49084038283607,"sku":"9781501351297","price":15.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781501351297.jpg?v=1725550855","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/critical-race-theory-and-jordan-peeles-get-out-9781501351297","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
