從什麼時候開始,「白人」成為「美國」的代名詞?
這一系列音樂動畫深入探討不同種族如何形塑美國文化。
本次播放的集數聚焦於19世紀和20世紀初,為土地上非白人群體的非洲裔和新移民亞裔提供發聲的機會,並透過歷史人物的故事,描繪種族與身份定義之間的交織與張力。
Through the entertaining and engaging lens of musical animated shorts, the History of White People in America provide insight into the unique lived experiences of historical figures who played a role in the evolving definitions of identity. We will decode the meaning of that word ‘white’ and the centuries-long struggle to make ‘American’ more than just a synonym for ‘white’. Episodes 4 & 5 are grounded in the question of citizenship and racial definitions in the 19th and early 20th century. In these episodes we will give voice to non-white people within the land: Africans and the newest immigrants of the nascent nation, Asians.
