Woke Horror: Sociopolitics, Genre, and Blackness in Get Out
|
"Morgan offers a thoroughly engaging and comprehensively researched consideration of Peele's Get Out (2017) as a piece of zeitgeist cinema. Ideal for those seeking to investigate contemporary horror film. Covering a wealth of background influences from socio-political horror and an astute application of genre theory, this is a timely study indeed."
- Dr. Darren Elliott-Smith, University of Hertfordshire (UK), author of Queer Horror: Masculinity and Sexuality at the Margins of Film and Television (2016) About the Book Jordan Peele’s film Get Out (2017) has, in a short time, created a noticeable impact on American film through a presentation of phenomenological experiences of racism against Blacks in contemporary U.S. society, controlling the normally White gaze of Hollywood. Woke Horror explores the film’s position within the sociopolitical horror genre and, more broadly, its place within American zeitgeist cinema. (Read more.) |
