An examination of Black women representations and their romantic relationships in mainstream movies
For many years, Black female representation of women in mainstream movies has been lacklustre at best. Most Black female leads have been misconstrued as one-dimensional, stereotypical beings portrayed for the world to see.

A narrative thematic analysis is used to examine Black female lead characters represented in romantic relationships. Fifteen films were …

An Analysis of Women Rappers’ Lyrical and Video Performances in Hip Hop Collaborations
Women in Rap often occupy spaces in which they are marginalized or pitted against one another.

Bringing Afrocentricity to the Funnies
Cartoonist Aaron McGruder entered the syndicated comic strip arena in 1998. As an African American, McGruder’s social commentary, political criticism, and jokes have a perspective on America unlike White syndicated cartoonists. Yet one cannot assume that his comic strip is Afrocentric simply because McGruder is African American. The authors of this work attempt to determine if McGruder—through his characters—speaks from an Afrocentric perspective…
Representations of (new) Black masculinity
Representations of Black masculinity in popular culture remain a focal point of social science and cultural studies research. Yet, research shows that Black men are negatively portrayed in news stories.
