| Abstract
|
:
|
"This work focuses exclusively on the sexual objectification of African American women in film from the 1980s to the early 2000s. Topics such as the diversity of the female characters' roles and relationships with men, their sexual attitudes, and their nonverbal and verbal sexual behaviors receive special attention."--Jacket
