Join Noliwe Rooks in dialogue with ConverZations That Matter channel host Belvie Rooks on "Watching Race: Movies, Media and Popular Culture: A Conversation About Gone With The Wind, Roots, and Crash."

Prof. Noliwe M. Rooks is Associate Director of African American Studies at Princeton University, and is the author of the critically acclaimed new book White Money/Black Power: The History of African American Studies and the Crisis in Higher Education (Beacon Press, 2006). In her latest book Dr. Rooks explores the role and power of money in shaping critical social and cultural narratives. For this talk, she and Belvie will be looking at how what we watch at the movies shapes how we think about race and how what we watch shows us so much about the world we live in.
