According to Hall (1997), race, like many other forms of difference, is socially constructed (p. 225). As such, individuals’ racial identity varies over place and time (p. 239). Hall (1997) suggests that stereotypes are used to maintain the boundaries between different groups of people because racial boundaries have proven to be fallible (p. 258). In his text, The Spectacle of the ‘Other’, Hall (1997) offers three different cultural strategies that can be used to combat stereotyping (p. 270).…
