Evelyn Alsultany interviews Kam Copeland, Ph.D. Candidate in the School of Cinematic Arts at the University of Southern California on representations of Black Muslims in the US media. The focus is on how images of Black Muslims have changed over time, from the 1959 documentary “The Hate That Hate Produced,” the 1977 TV miniseries, “Roots,” the 1993 feature film “Menace II Society,” to the 2005 TV drama “Sleeper Cell.” Editor: Esteban Ramirez
Producer: Allyson M. Holley
The Muslims as Seen on TV podcast is produced and distributed by the Consortium for Gender, Sexuality, Race and Public Culture, a faculty-led initiative spearheaded by Professor Karen Tongson at the University of Southern California’s Dornsife College that brings together researchers exploring shifts in gender, race, and sexuality in popular culture, while also translating that research for the public square. During the Covid-19 pandemic, the Consortium is functioning as a start-up podcast network within the Department of Gender & Sexuality Studies, and working with both faculty and students to produce informative audio stories in multiple genres.
