Nancy Wang Yuen: Reel Inequality, Second Edition, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

In this updated edition of Reel Inequality , author Nancy Wang Yuen reflects on Hollywood's wins and failures in addressing racism across the past decade. Drawing on newly released industry data and recently published interviews with actors of color, she traces how racism continues to shape who gets cast, who gets hired, and who gets to tell their own story. Yuen looks closely at the pressures actors of color face, including typecasting, financial precarity, and racial burdens, even as many push back and forge their own paths. She also traces Hollywood's recurring cycle of promise and retreat, showing how diversity efforts often surge in response to public pressure but are scaled back during economic downturns, corporate mergers, and political pressures. Reel Inequality, the reboot, will always honor the resilience of actors of color working within and against a racist Hollywood system, as true inclusion remains a cliffhanger.
