Bush's 2001 announcement of the War on Terror and President Barack Obama's 2009 acceptance of the Nobel Peace Prize. It argues that images of black masculine authority have become increasingly important to the legitimization of contemporary policing and its leading role in the maintenance of an antiblack social order forged by racial slavery and segregation. It examines a constellation of film and television productions--from Antoine Fuqua's \u003ci\u003eTraining Day\u003c\/i\u003e to John Lee Hancock's \u003ci\u003eThe Blind Side\u003c\/i\u003e to Barry Jenkin's \u003ci\u003eMoonlight\u003c\/i\u003e--to illuminate the contradictory dynamics at work in attempts to reconcile the promotion of black male patriarchal empowerment and the preservation of gendered antiblackness within political and popular culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJared Sexton \u003c\/b\u003eteaches African American Studies and Film and Media Studies at the University of California, Irvine, USA.
