The G.I.C. has a collection of VHS videotapes and DVDs available for use in multicultural programming. The GIC video library includes documentaries feature films on African American, Asian American, Latino, and Native American issues. A smaller selection of international and multicultural titles are also available. The videos are available for use by members of the University of Pennsylvania community.
Please be advised that the GIC video collection includes some videos which project negative racial images. All films are products of their time, and some of the videotapes in our collection reflect the negative attitudes and stereotypes of their times. These videotapes are useful too, for they can be instructive in examining the portrayal of racial minorities over time, the construction of stereotypes, and the use of racial myths in our society.
