Discuss how the ideas of hegemony and counter-hegemony relate to the study of race/racism in popular culture

Discuss how the ideas of hegemony and counter-hegemony relate to the study of race/racism in popular culture. What does the idea of hegemony tell us about how racism is reflected in popular culture? What might it mean to also think of popular culture as a site of “cultural struggle”, as the scholar Stuart Hall once suggested, and what kinds of counter- hegemonic expressions might we find in popular culture? Make use of specific examples in your responses.
