The Subject of Film and Race is the first comprehensive intervention into how film critics and scholars have sought to understand cinema's relationship to racial ideology. In attempting to do more than merely identify harmful stereotypes, research on 'films and race' appropriates ideas from post-structuralist theory.

Smith was eventually deported to his homeland of Jamaica, where he...

The Catholic school system is the largest faith-based educational network in the world, with 120,000 schools and over 1,000 colleges and universities working in partnership with them.

Knowledge of Catholic educational scholarship and research has been largely confined to specific national settings. Now is the time to bring together this scholarship in an international Handbook reflecting the fact that...
