Reel Inequality

Hollywood Actors and Racism

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

When the 2016 Oscar acting nominations all went to whites for the second consecutive year, #OscarsSoWhite became a trending topic. Yet these enduring racial biases afflict not only the Academy Awards, but also Hollywood as a whole. Reel Inequality examines the structural barriers minority actors face in Hollywood, while shedding light on how they survive in a racist industry.
