Summary: Screen Deep is a book about the immense potential of screen storytelling to defeat an evil both historic and urgently topical: racism. Everyone watches TV and movies. Everyone has an interest in fighting racism to improve the world. Screen Deep explains how these two things can and should be connected. In Screen Deep Ellen E. Jones combines her personal experience as a mixed-race woman who cares about racism with her professional expertise as a film and TV journalist of twenty years standing to ask--and asnwer--several questions: is there such a thing as an Indigenous Western? Is race comedy 'cancelled'? Where are all the films for white people? And most importantly: can you still fight the good fight with a mouthful of popcorn?" --description from hardcover edition
