This book fills a significant gap in the critical conversation on
race in media by extending interrogations of racial colorblindness
in American television to the industrial practices that shape what
we see on screen. Specifically, it frames the practice of
colorblind casting as a potent lens for examining the
interdependence of 21st century post-racial politics and popular
culture. Applying a 'production as culture' approach to a series of
casting case studies from American primetime dramatic television,
including ABC's Grey's Anatomy and The CW's The Vampire Diaries,
Kristen Warner complicates our understanding of the cultural
processes that inform casting and expounds the aesthetic and
pragmatic industrial viewpoints that perpetuate limiting or
downright exclusionary hiring norms. She also examines the material
effects of actors of color who knowingly participate in this system
and justify their limited roles as a consequence of employment, and
finally speculates on what alternatives, if any, are available to
correct these practices. Warner's insights are a valuable addition
to scholarship in media industry studies, critical race theory,
ethnic studies, and audience reception, and will also appeal to
those with a general interest in race in popular culture.
