Trigger warning!!!! Black popular culture encompasses many genres and styles. It is created by and or for African Americans with themes that have a cultural appeal. This course will include a look at traditional stereotypes and tropes in television, film, and music. We will also examine new constructions of gender identity within multiple mediums in the entertainment industry including music, film, social media, and television. In sum, this course will concentrate on the (de)construction of economic, sexuality, gender politics, and identity politics in Black Popular Culture.
