| | Deep Cover |
 | | In other words, under the cover of the presentation of racialized subjects and racialized circumstances, the fiction that results is often another reinscription of older master narratives that elide any specific imaginative play with the materials of storytelling by replacing them with the already-understood materials tied to race. |
 | | An illustration: in Deep Cover, Fishburne/Stevens/Hull, our hero, is first seen as clean-shaven with irregular, bumpy skin and strange complexion colors He is, therefore, alienated from the bearded Fishburne "we" all know from earlier films (like Boyz N the Hood) and from media interviews. |
 | | Deep inside, he is a true cop; he has a true relationship to a racial group; he is a true father (as opposed to a bad or absent father and as opposed to an absent or bad mother); and he truly cares about fl people. |
