Thinking about Race in "American Fiction" and "Origin"
Bernard Beck
Multicultural Perspectives, v26 n1 p59-61 2024
America has been multicultural from the beginning of the country's inception. Blacks and whites have lived together throughout this history. The movies have also evolved during their history to include relations between subcultural groups, especially between Blacks and whites. Depictions of racial relations have evolved through different stages in the movies over time. Recent movies have displayed some new features. Blacks are affected by accounts of race that depict interracial relations and the constraints on African Americans. White views about race in general and Blacks in particular have had a major impact on the lives of African Americans. A new form of race depictions has emerged recently, as shown in two new films, American Fiction and Origin.
