Ethnic Notions (1986) (original) (raw)
Through razor-sharp historical analysis including interviews with historians and folklore scholars, powerfully deployed imagery, and narration by actor Esther Rolle, Ethnic Notions illuminates, with devastating clarity, how dehumanizing caricatures of Black people�seen everywhere from children's books to films to household products�have been used to uphold white supremacy and to justify slavery, segregation, and the continuing oppression of African Americans.
