Tyler Perry has become a significant figure in media due to his
undeniable box office success led by his character Madea and
popular TV sitcoms House of Payne and Meet the Browns. Perry built
a multimedia empire based largely on his popularity among African
American viewers and has become a prominent and dominant cultural
storyteller. Along with Perry's success has come scrutiny by some
social critics and Hollywood well-knowns, like Spike Lee, who have
started to deconstruct the images in Perry's films and TV shows
suggesting, as Lee did, that Perry has used his power to advance
stereotypical depictions of African Americans. The book provides a
rich and thorough overview of Tyler Perry's media works. In so
doing, contributors represent and approach their analyses of
Perry's work from a variety of theoretical and methodological
angles. The main themes explored in the volume include the
representation of (a) Black authenticity and cultural production,
(b) class, religion, and spirituality, (c) gender and sexuality,
and (d) Black love, romance, and family. Perry's critical acclaim
is also explored.
