"Serving" American orientalism: Negotiating identities in The Courtship of Eddie's Father
Article Abstract:
'The Courtship of Eddie's Father', a TV program aired during the 1960s period, prompts questions about domestic roles, racial otherness and difference, interracial relationships, and ideals about the American family. It demonstrates how racial meaning and identity are subject to discursive struggle, even when this struggle is contained generically and ideologically.
