Description

Can you write a Black character? Are they going to be authentic? Are you aware of the pitfalls writers often fall into when creating a character of colour?

As a screenwriter you always want to have characters with real depth and authenticity, but too often Black characters fall victim to superficial tropes and negative stereotyping.

By exploring popular representation of law and order, healthcare and celebrity in the entertainment industry, and comparing this with the reality of these institutions throughout history and today, Lubimbi opens up the discussion regarding race and offers advice on creating three-dimensional characters, not stereotypes.

Part analysis and part workbook, Race and Entertainment: Reflections on Racism in Film, TV and the Media will help screenwriters and creative professionals to understand the social construct of racism and how it affects the Black experience, in order for them to be able to write an authentic Black character.
