"Arranged by race/ethnic group, the book covers films relating to the experiences of African Americans, Arab Americans, Asian Americans, European Americans, Latino/a Americans, Native Americans, and includes intercultural films, those depicting the experiences of more than one group. After providing a plot summary of each film, the authors critique it, proposing points of focus and discussion for the viewer. Films that appeal to a variety of different ages, with ratings given when possible, along with a thematic guide, will help identify films for students and educators on specific topics and issues for each minority group."--BOOK JACKET.
