18 - Abandonment and Memory in Red Hook Summer
Manage episode 351075557 series 3422763
A characterization of Spike Lee's 2012 film Red Hook Summer as a meditation on total abandonment. I am specifically concerned with the abandonment of the neighborhood to environmental racism, social and political violence, and ethnic cleansing. How does Lee document life in a space made precarious by gentrification and other forms of violence? How does that documentation sit alongside his previous treatments of Brooklyn as a vibrant, living place?
