Mainstream horror often centers on white fears and problematic representations of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC). This class will take a different approach by highlighting horror created by BIPOC in films, novels, and comics. Employing a critical Ethnic Studies lens, focusing on the intersections of race, class, gender, sexuality, and ability, we will interrogate the various and changing meanings of fear, fright, and despair and how they inform culture, identity, and community. Recommended prerequisite: ETHN 2001.
