Explores how suburban space and the body are racialized in American film. This book
is the first anthology to explore the connection between race and the suburbs in American
cinema from the end of World War II to the present. It builds upon the explosion of
interest in the suburbs in film, television, and fiction in the last fifteen years,
concentrating exclusively on the relationship of race to the built environment. Suburb
films began as a cycle in response to both America's changing urban geography and
the re-segregation of its domestic spaces in the postwar era, which excluded African
Americans, Asian Americans, and Latinx from the suburbs while buttressing whiteness.
By defying traditional categories and chronologies in cinema studies, the contributors
explore the myriad ways suburban spaces and racialized bodies in film mediate each
other. Race and the Suburbs in American Film is a stimulating resource for considering
the manner in which race is foundational to architecture and urban geography, which
is reflected, promoted, and challenged in cinematic representations.Merrill Schleier

of the Pacific. They are the author of Skyscraper Cinema: Architecture and Gender
