Zusammenfassung:Hollywood films are powerful storytellers in American history, and their depiction of race and culture has helped to shape the way people around the world respond to race and prejudice. Over the past 100 years, films have moved from the radically prejudiced views of people of colour to the depiction of people of colour by writers and filmmakers from within those cultures.
