What Is the Right Thing? Notes on the Desconstruction of Black Ideology. A Review Essay.
Chrisman, Robert
Black Scholar, v21 n2 p53-57 Mar-May 1990
"Do the Right Thing" leaves the viewer with contradictory and confused messages that suggest that the film has no clear view of racial relations in a city. The film is examined as an ideological statement. It deconstructs contemporary African-American ideologies but does not replace them with new visions. (SLD)
