In 2015 FOX's Empire became a worldwide phenomenon shattering
records for a new primetime black television series with 15 million
viewers weekly, dominating social media, and being hailed as the
savior of mainstream television. With its unique depictions of the
family, the music industry, feminism, masculinity, LGBTQ issues,
race, mental illness, and the American Dream, Empire, a hip-hopera
inspired by Shakespeare's King Lear and the 1980s soap opera
Dynasty, is at the forefront of a renaissance in black popular
culture. Its success sparked a revolution in new programming
created by and starring African-Americans between 2015 and 2017.
Nevertheless, Empire is the most polarizing television series in
the black community. Is Empire shifting paradigms with its
depiction of blackness or promoting destructive stereotypes? This
critical study analyzes the multifaceted issues presented in
Empire's first three seasons from an interdisciplinary perspective.
It assesses Empire's role in the evolution of black images on
television and other mediums of popular culture by examining past
and present diverse bodies of literature and media, analytical
data, and discussions on respectability. Finally, it evaluates
Empire's influence on black empowerment in Hollywood and the
potency of these images in American race relations today.
