dc.description.abstractThis thesis looks at the 2018 movie Sorry to Bother You through the lense of Afrosurrealism. After some brief introduction to the main goals of Surrealism, and its sub-genre of Afrosurrealism are introduced, the thesis specifically examines one of the surreal tools of the movie: the white voice. Through the characters' utilization of the white voice, topics such as race as a socially fabricated phenomenon, racial performance, and code-switching are discussed. Afrosurrealism is concluded to be an excellent genre to discuss and highlight otherwise ignored and hidden black experiences.
