Screenwriters in Hollywood
Jorja Prover
Popular Press
An anthropologist studying Hollywood, Jorja Prover examines how different groups of individuals, separated from one another superficially by ethnicity, race, and sex, function as writers in Hollywood. She describes the white "majority" Hollywood writers and explores their concerns and creative processes, and then discusses other writers who, until recently, have been virtually invisible in the entertainment industrywomen, the physically challenged, gays, African Americans, Latinos, and Asians.
