Title: Black Masculinity and the Cinema of Policing
Description: "This book offers a critical survey of film and media representations of black masculinity in the early twenty-first century United States, between President George W. Bush's 2011 announcement of the War on Terror and President Barack Obama's 209 acceptance of the Nobel Peace Prize. It argues that images of black masculine authority have become increasingly important to the legitimization of contemporary policing and its leading role in the maintenance of an antiblack social order forged by racial slavery and segregation"--Publisher's description.
