Stigmatized on Screen

How Hollywood Portrays Nonstandard Dialects

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book analyzes the 500 top-grossing films of the last 20 years to show how speakers of traditionally stigmatized dialects are represented, underrepresented, misrepresented, and mocked. Ultimately, the author demonstrates how Hollywood reinforces long-standing negative beliefs about the languages of marginalized communities.
