For the past decade or more, few Hollywood stars have experienced a
more meteoric rise than Tyler Perry. As much as he is lauded by
fans, Perry is panned by cultural critics who reject his work as
overtly preachy and rife with racially stereotypical
characterizations and controversial themes. This book explores the
vast chasm between his fans' adoration and the critical reception
of his work: while some argue that Perry's brand of "blackness" is
little more than buffoonery, others claim he offers representations
that are missing in entertainment choices, especially among niche
audiences. He is applauded by some for offering films and
television shows that are "good entertainment", while others label
his work trashy. He can be seen either as an oracle whose morality
plays provide a gospel message of family healing, or as an actor
with a misaligned worldview. This book asks: what are we to do with
the "problem" of Tyler Perry?
