Author: Sonnet Retman

Real Folks: Race and Genre in the Great Depression by Sonnet Retman explores how ideas of authenticity and “the folk” were constructed and challenged in 1930s American culture. Through analysis of literature, film, and satire—from authors like Zora Neale Hurston and George Schuyler to films by Preston Sturges and the Coen Brothers—Retman examines how race, genre, and mass media shaped national identity during the Depression era.
