[quote=Anonymous]I see a difference, at least somewhat, with the new Reese movie in that its really not about the black experience in America. Its about refugees in a post-conflict migration. Yes, being from S. Sudan and being black does inform the narrative, but its hard to conflate this entirely with narratives like The Help and The Blindside. I would venture to say their stories, their 'saving' is more in line with Cambodians in the early 80s than black Americans. But I come from a place of studying/interest in post-conflict states which are often in developing nations in the last 30 years- its part of my job at a local university- so maybe that colors how I see this example.[/quote]
