Episode 3: Notes

Race & Post-Modernism

In this episode of Between Shelves, we explore the intersection of Race & Postmodernism, diving into how contemporary literature and film engage with racial themes in a rapidly evolving world. From nuanced explorations of identity to bold critiques of societal structures, we examine how modern creators challenge and reinterpret race in ways that resonate with today’s complexities. Join us as we unpack the interplay of race with psychology, culture, and postmodernism, offering fresh insights into how these forces shape the narratives we consume and our evolving understanding of the human experience.
