Books (non-fiction): • Stamped from the Beginning: A Definitive History of Racist Ideas by Ibram X.

Du Bois and Angela Davis) to offer a window into the contentious debates between assimilationists and segregationists and between racists and antiracists. Kendi shows how and why some of our leading proslavery and pro- civil rights thinkers have challenged or helped cement racist ideas in America. • How to Be an Antiracist by Ibram X. Kendi - In his memoir, Kendi weaves together ethics, history, law, and science--including his own awakening to antiracism--bringing it all together in a cogent, accessible form. Kendi helps us rethink our most deeply held, if implicit, beliefs and our most intimate personal relationships and reexamines the policies and larger social arrangements we support. An essential book for anyone who wants to go beyond an awareness of racism to the next step of contributing to the formation of a truly just and equitable society. • Dying of Whiteness by Jonathan Metzl - Physician and sociologist, Metzl, travels across America’s heartland seeking to better understand the politics of racial resentment and its impact on public health. • Fatal Invention: How Science, Politics, and Big Business Re-create Race in the Twenty-First Century by Dorothy Roberts - This groundbreaking book examines how the myth of biological concept of race— revived by purportedly cutting–edge science, race-specific drugs, genetic testing, and DNA databases— continues to undermine a just society and promote inequality in a supposedly “post-racial” era. • White Fragility: Why It’s So Hard for White People to Talk About Racism by Robin DiAngelo - Explores the counterproductive reactions white people have when their assumptions about race are challenged, and how these reactions maintain racial inequality. • Locking Up Our Own: Crime & Punishment in Black America by James Forman Jr. – In this 2018 Nonfiction Pulitzer Prize winning book, Forman, a leading critic of mass incarceration and its disproportionate impact on people of color, seeks to understand the war on crime that began in the 1970s and why it was supported by many African American leaders in the nation’s urban centers. • How We Get Free: Black Feminism & the Combahee River Collective, edited by Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor - Winner of the 2018 Lambda Literary Award for LGBTQ Nonfiction.

His fascinating perspective on the lies and limitations of the American Dream, and the inherent racism in a society that denies its nonwhite citizens the opportunity to dream, gives extraordinary insight into the most urgent issues of our own time. The Autobiography of Malcolm X stands as the definitive statement of a movement and a man whose work was never completed but whose message is timeless. It is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand America.

  • Blackkklansman
    BlacKkKlansman The movie is called BlacKkKlansman, it was directed by Spike Lee and released in France in August 22, 2018. The movie is based on a true story from the book Black Klansman, written by Ron Stallworth. Starring John David Washington, Adam Driver, Laura Harrier, Topher Grace as the main actors. The movie is set in the 70s where it follows the story of a young black man named Ron Stallworth, who just joined the police department of Colorado Springs, Colorado. After being subjected to the racist and tense environment of the department and a somewhat successful infiltration mission. Ron Stallworth is transferred to the intelligence division where he finds an advertisement for the local Ku Klux Klan. He decides to call and poses as a racist, anti-Semite, anti-Latino and homophobic white man looking to join the Klan, only to discover that he used his real name. He gains the accord of his chief to commence an infiltration of the KKK with the help of Flip Zimmerman a non-practicing Jewish officer. The pair create the two-man Ron Stallworth; the real Ron Stallworth handles the phone conversations while Zimmerman while meet the Klan's members in person. The duo begins to infiltrate the KKK to discover what the Klan is up to while making Ron Stallworth the first black man in the Klan. While I liked the movie, I believe that it struggles with its balance of drama and comedy. While trying to deliver the message that the Klan is a serious threat (especially during the last part), the movie depicts the Klan more as a good-for-nothing group with stereotypical characters that are more made to be laugh at than feared.

Neo-Brechtian theory has been influential in this regard, as many of Brecht’s theories regarding the epic theatre were incorporated into film theory in the 1970s, just as the field was being formalised as an academic discipline.

  • Analyzing Racial Antagonism and Diverging Perspectives In
    Lycée Anglais Cycle terminal © Analyzing Racial antagonism and diverging perspectives in Blackkklansman Un film de Spike Lee, 2018 Type d’activité : Préparation au visionnage et analyse d’extraits Durée : 2 h Introduction Blackkklansman is a film by Spike Lee, a director inspired by political issues and involved in the struggle for the rights of African-Americans. The movie was released in 2018, under Donald Trump’s presidency and at a time of controversy and racial turmoil in the USA, with rising tensions and violence against the African-American commu- nity. Through the surprising but nonetheless true story of a Black police officer infiltrating the Ku Klux Klan in 1978, Blackkklansman illustrates the «Divided States of America», or how the USA prove to be a nation marked by a his- tory of racial antagonism and hatred. Spike Lee plays on the discrepancy of perspectives through humor but also powerful tone and imagery, thus projecting the ongoing complexity of being fully recognized as American, not just as an hyphenated American (African-American, Jewish-American…). This film can be used in class to illustrate the notion «places and forms of power».

    1 Tori Rosenthal Dr. Olsen T/RS 228 – Parables in Pop Culture May 22, 2020 BlacKkKlansman: Language is Power As the first African American director to become a household name in Hollywood, critically acclaimed U.S. filmmaker Spike Lee has never been one to shy away from bold character personas, unique camera angles, and groundbreaking content, and his iconic film BlacKkKlansman (2018) is no exception. A passionate supporter of black art and emancipation, Lee’s films often comment on the state of ‘white America’ past and present, telling stories of black Americans that were previously little heard in Hollywood films and cultivating a public persona that is known well beyond the film world for his outspoken attitudes surrounding racial politics. With a star-studded cast and a comedic approach to such complex material, the underlying message in BlacKkKlansman conveys to the audience the truth behind Ron Stallworth’s extraordinary story and tackles controversial topics such as racism, white supremacy, the politics of policework and radical activism. Set in the 1970s in Colorado Springs and based off the 2014 memoir Black Klansmen by Ron Stallworth, BlacKkKlansman follows the journey of the first African-American detective (John David Washington) in the city's police department as he sets out to infiltrate and expose the local chapter of the Ku Klux Klan. He poses as a white racist on the phone using his real name while his secretively Jewish partner Flip Zimmerman (Adam Driver) poses for him in real life in order to become part of the organization. Stallworth’s two-man persona and undercover 2 police work allow the pair to successfully infiltrate the Ku Klux Klan, going so far as rising up in the chapter by rubbing elbows with Grand Wizard David Duke (Topher Grace) and discovering information on several underground military connections within the KKK.
