Ethnic studies is an interdisciplinary field that examines the experiences, perspectives and contributions of different ethnic groups. The field encompasses various subfields such as African American studies, Asian American studies, Latino studies, Native American studies, and more. My focus is on the intersection of ethnicity and popular culture, specifically the representation of ethnic minorities in Chinese ethnic films and its relation to Brazilian ethnic films.
