This article has a lot of links that can be used to analyze our contemporary american culture. The copyright was T.V. Reed also connected to an American Studies website/group. The body of the website includes links to film culture as well as issues in our everydays lives (ex. race, class gender, imperialism, sexuality.) Here is a quote describing the main points of the site:
"We cannot understand our present without understanding our past. And we cannot fully imagine change without a sense of how our culture has changed over time. Our ability to understand the improvements in and the limits of current media representations of African Americans, for example, is greatly enhanced by viewing two documentaries that detail the history of African American representations in the mass media, Ethnic Notions and Color Adjustment. "
With most examples of a historical analysis we see how the film or other form of entertainment was perceived through the general public. This site allows you to see the dates and opinions of people living in America during the time each film was shot.
