Representing Ethnicity

Representing Ethnicity

You should be familiar with Alvarado and Hall’s typologies

• exotic
• dangerous
• humorous
• pitied

·         Native

·         Slave

·         Entertainer

It would be useful to tell the examiner if you feel representations have shifted and are now more diverse. Hall was working in the 1970s and Alvarado in the 1980s
