Pelo Malo and European Standard of Beauty
“We cannot value ourselves rightly without first breaking through the walls of denial which hide the depth of black self-hatred, inner anguish, and unreconciled pain.” Loving Blackness as Political Resistance by bell hooks Negrometraje is a podcast that critically thinks and deconstructs Black representation in Latin American mass media and films. Negrometrajes is a derogatory yet popular term that translates as “Black Feature Film.” We center our work on Caliban, a Shakespeare's character in the play the tempest. In today’s episode we discuss the coming-of-age film Pelo Malo (Bad Hair) by Mariana Rondon premiere in 2013. “Unfortunately, black people have not systematically challenged these narrow visions, insisting on a more accurate “reading” of black male reality. Acting in complicity with the status quo (Patriarchal masculine ideal), many black people have passively absorbed narrow representations of black masculinity, perpetuated stereotypes, myths, and offered one-dimensional accounts. Contemporary black men have been shaped by the representations.” Reconstructing Black Masculinity by bell hooks
