I explored the representations of “mulatta” women in John Cassavetes’ legendry film Shadows, made in 1959, and Julie Dash’s relatively unknown short film Illusions, made in 1982. I compared and contrasted their cinematic efforts to subvert the “Tragic Mulatta” stereotype and to explore new images of mixed race women in American independent films.
