This two-volume encyclopedia explores representations of people of
color in American television. It includes overview essays on early,
classic, and contemporary television and the challenges for,
developments related to, and participation of minorities on and
behind the screen. Covering five decades, this encyclopedia
highlights how race has shaped television and how television has
shaped society. Offering critical analysis of moments and themes
throughout television history, Race in American Television shines a
spotlight on key artists of color, prominent shows, and the debates
that have defined television since the civil rights movement. This
book also examines the ways in which television has been a site for
both reproduction of stereotypes and resistance to them, providing
a basis for discussion about racial issues in the United States.
This set provides a significant resource for students and fans of
television alike, not only educating but also empowering readers
with the necessary tools to consume and watch the small screen and
explore its impact on the evolution of racial and ethnic
stereotypes in U.S. culture and beyond. Understanding the history
of American television contributes to deeper knowledge and
potentially helps us to better apprehend the plethora of diverse
shows and programs on Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, and other platforms
today.
