This groundbreaking collection explores the intersecting variables
of groups marginalized by the media. Contributors examine gender,
race, class, sexual orientation, geography, and ethnicity in
relation to feminist multicultural issues. . . . Highly recommended
for students of feminism, multiculturalism, cultural studies,
communication theory, and media analysis. --Choice "Most of the
world's women experience multiple forms of oppression, yet few
communication scholars have prioritized this profound reality.
Professor Valdivia's collection examining feminism,
multiculturalism, and the media is a welcome text for courses on
women, minorities, and communication, plus an excellent resource
for many other courses concerned with issues of diversity." --H.
Leslie Steeves, University of Oregon "Many contributors illustrate
contradictions in multicultural and feminist media perspectives.
These embrace more than feminist analysis: They illustrate how
gender, race, class, and ethnicity affect media coverage and
reception, providing theoretical approaches to analyzing media
coverage." --The Bookwatch The multiplicity of voices in this
volume illustrates the contradictions inherent in multicultural and
feminist perspectives on the media. Feminism, Multiculturalism, and
the Media breaks new ground by exploring intersecting variables of
oppression, from the personal to the political. The volume begins
with feminist analyses but uncovers marginalized "others" in every
area. These compelling case studies illustrate how issues of
gender, race, class, sexual orientation, global origin, and
ethnicity affect the coverage, portrayal, media production, and
reception of every human being. The chapters present theoretical
perspectives, provide examples of methodologies, focus on topics of
current interest and global relevance, and represent a variety of
media. An essential addition for any individual or classroom
interested in critical perspectives on media, especially for
courses on women in the media and minorities and the media.
