By examining social, cultural, literary, and cinema history, this book provides valuable insights into issues of Othering, including discrimination, exclusion, and sexism, that remain relevant today, just as they did a century ago. Lupack not only explores the ways in which dominant cinema of the era imprinted indelible and pejorative images of women from various racial and ethnic backgrounds—such as African Americans, Native Americans, Asians, Hispanics, and New Women\/Suffragists—but also uncovers the efforts of pioneering early filmmakers and performers to challenge and subvert these representations. Through their innovative imagery, interrogative approaches, and re-politicization of familiar narratives, these individuals sought to disrupt the status quo and promote greater inclusivity and diversity in the film industry. This book is a must-read for scholars and enthusiasts of film, gender, history, and race studies, offering a comprehensive and thought-provoking exploration of the complex interplay between culture, history, and representation in silent film.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 229 x 152 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781666913965\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Barbara Tepa Lupack","offers":[{"title":"Unspecified","offer_id":44839411056890,"sku":"9781666913965","price":104.31,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/noImage_1_1e06d968-a1b5-4d95-981d-9919c4660f1e.jpg?v=1701585938","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/the-othering-of-women-in-silent-film-cultural-historical-and-literary-contexts-9781666913965","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
