Debbie Olson argues that within the discourse of children's studies and film scholarship in relation to the conception of "the child," there is often little to no distinction among children by raceÌthe "child" is most often discussed as a universal entity, as the embodiment of all things not adult, not (sexually) corrupt. Discussions about children of color among scholars often take place within contexts such as crime, drugs, urbanization, poverty, or lack of education that tend to reinforce historically stereotypical beliefs about African Americans. Olson looks at historical conceptions of childhood within scholarly discourse, the child character in popular film and what space the black child (both African and African American) occupies within that ideal. 650 0 $a Blacks in motion pictures. 650 0 $a Children in motion pictures. 650 0 $a Racism in motion pictures. 650 0 $a Motion pictures $x Social aspects. 776 0 $z 9783319482736 776 0 $w (GyWOH)har170151621 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231020022727.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20170907010636.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=40AD42E6475911E7B35354A3DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
