Title: Casta | Race, Memory and Community in Southern United States

Author: Nicola Lo Calzo 

Synopsis: 

Intense emotions expressed around the world after the release of "Twelve Years A Slave" bears testimony to the significance of questions surrounding memory and race within the American society. The film, by British film director - Steve McQueen, strongly underlines the predicament of the legacy of slavery in the United States. Far from a done deal, this central element in the history of the United States of America remains a vivid subject, a century and several decades after its abolition. The passion aroused by the film reveals that while it is sometimes masked, restored or even reinterpreted, America's slave past is indispensable and remains at the heart of relations in the country. Alex Haley's "Roots", released in the 70's, prompted similar emotions and debates. Learn More
