描述 | .Visible and Invisible Whiteness. examines the complicity between Classical Hollywood narratives or genres and representations of white supremacy in the cinema. Close readings of D.W. Griffith’s .The Birth of a Nation. by James Agee and James Baldwin explore these authors’ perspectives on the American mythologies which ground Griffith’s film.
