Questions for Discussion
Оглавление1 Think about your own national, ethnic, or racial heritage. To what extent does it shape your personal identity? Share your thoughts with your classmates. Are people of color more aware of these issues than are many whites? If so, why?
2 What are the pros and cons of assimilation? What should America’s “national identity” be? How does film help to construct that national identity?
3 Religion is a powerful ideological state apparatus. How does religion intersect with questions of race and nation? What role does religion play in the process of assimilation (or resistance to assimilation)? Are some cultural groups more defined by their religion than by their race or nation?
