The two primary sources I have chosen to write about are the films Enough starring Jennifer Lopez and Sleeping with the Enemy starring Julia Roberts.

With her new smaller nose and long, straight hair, the African-American woman seems to be toying with the idea of ambiguity. And maybe we shouldn't be surprised. The intermingling of ethnicities and races—via marriages, friendships, and other interactions—has created a peculiar fusion in this country.
