Welcome to The Square Round Table Podcast Halloween Special Pt. 2 with Special Guest: Dr. Robin R. Means Coleman !!!!!! First we examined Horror through a Black lens. Now we are taking a look at how popular culture has portrayed Black Characters in Horror throughout the inception of this divisive genre!

It's October and the INAPC sisters are back to pay homage to a history of black horror. This time we reference the 2019 documentary Horror Noire: A History of Black Horror based on the 2011 non-fiction book Horror Noire: Blacks in American Horror Films from the 1890s to Present by Robin R. Means Coleman, PhD. From the 1915 film The Birth of a Nation to the present, the relationship between black Americans and the horror genre has been a roller coaster. So strap in for a ride!

Dr Racquel Gates is assistant professor of Cinema and Media Studies at the College of Staten Island. She is the author of Double Negative: The Black Image and Popular Culture (Duke, 2018). For the latest episode, Racquel talked to Neil about her book and a number of other topics including contemporary black screen art and criticism, Eddie Murphy, Halle Berry, Whoopi Goldberg, Black cultural scholarship and the Academy, Empire, Reality TV, Sorry To Bother You and lots more. Racquel was very tolerant of Neil’s rambling enthusiasm for her work and the ideas and thoughts it spawned in him. Her book is incisive and entertaining and as a thinker Racquel expertly discusses texts while understanding the fluidity of ideas and issues around flaws, problems, virtues and areas of scholarly note. This conversation is one of our favourites. It gets into some really fascinating areas and touches on black film history and the wider contexts of the contemporary moment. We hope you enjoy it. Here’s a link to the book Racquel mentions whose title gets lost on the episode due to a drop in the Skype signal - Horror Noire by Robin R. Means Coleman. A link to Wesley Morris on the Longform Podcast and his NYT essay, and the Harper’s Podcast Like This Or Die, all of which are referenced in Neil and Dario’s chat around the central conversation on this episode.

Welcome to another episode of Carolyn Talks!Based on the book Horror Noire: Blacks in American Horror Films from the 1890s to Present, by Dr. Robin R. Means Coleman, directed by Xavier Burgin, co-written by Ashlee Blackwell, and executive produced by Tananarive Due, Horror Noire: A History of Black Horror is a documentary that looks at the depiction of Black people in over a century of horror movies.The film is essential viewing for everyone who loves film, and not just the horror genre, because it gives the perspective of actors and directors about their experiences, and how film impacts the lives of Black people. Black actors and directors have always had to struggle with finding roles, and support for projects that centered the voice and experiences of Black people in film. Even in the 70s when films like Blacula was gaining attention in the Blaxploitation era, they still had to contend with racial and gender stereotyping.

Charlton McIlwain (@cmcilwain) - As a researcher, writer and teacher, Dr. McIlwain's primary interests focus broadly on issues of race and media, particularly within the social and political arena. His previous work centered on how political candidates construct, mobilize, benefit or suffer damage from race-based appeals. In 2011 Dr. McIlwain co-authored the book Race Appeal: How Candidates Invoke Race in U.S. Political Campaigns (Temple University Press). In 2012, the book won the prestigious Ralph Bunche Award, given by the American Political Science Association for the best book addressing ethnic pluralism. The same year, the American Library Association recognized the book as one of the Best of the Best books among academic publishers. In addition to authoring/coauthoring four additional books and close to thirty scholarly journal articles and chapter in edited volumes, and regularly providing expert commentary for local, state, national and international media, Dr. McIlwain continues to pursue research about racial appeals through collaborative work focused on analyses of individuals' real-time perceptions of race-based appeals in political advertising, as well as a variety of cognitive/physiological responses to racialized communication. You can stay informed about his ongoing work in that area at the RaceProject. Dr. McIlwain's recent interests, however, have turned to the intersections of race and digital media, principally as they relate to three primary questions: to what degree can/has the internet and other forms of digital media use lead to increased political participation, voice and influence for people of color?; in what ways might internet use provide greater access to social, professional and economic mobility for people of color?; and in what tangible ways do forms of racial discrimination, disparate treatment and denial of opportunity take place in online environments? He is currently working on a number of projects in this area, including: An article titled, Racial Formation Online: Representation, Inequality & the Political Economy of the Web. A book project titled Digital Movement: Black Politics, Organizing & Activism on the Web, which traces the roots and charts the development of racial justice networks online since the 1990s. A related project analyzing the Black Lives Matter movement on Twitter. The project is in collaboration with lead investigator Deen Freelon, and Meredith Clark, and is funded by the Spencer Foundation. Dr. McIlwain is also working on the following with other collaborators: A book project titled, Good Feelings: The Story of Race & Barbecue in America with Kathleen McElroy. A final book project with Stephen Maynard Caliendo titled Nigger 2.0: The Turbulent Transformation of a Still Troublesome Word. In addition to these projects, Robin R. Means Coleman and I edit the Routledge Transformations in Race & Media book series for Routledge. In this Episode we Discussed The history of race and racism on the Internet in the context of the civil rights and the post-civil rights eras How algorithms can both intentionally and unintentionally create real-world discriminatory harm Why scholars should continue to study race and racism at the intersection of technology and the Internet.
