Representations of Stereotypical Images in Popular Culture: A
Critical Approach engages students to examine the perpetuation of
stereotypical images of marginalized groups found in popular media
and to challenge those frameworks that are responsible for the
creation and maintenance of these negative images. Focusing on
film, television, social media, and lifestyles, the book applies
critical theory to explain the impact of capitalism on the
construction of images of minorities in popular culture. It
examines how the maintenance of these images becomes embedded in
our culture and directly impacts our belief systems regarding
social expectations of racial, gender, and class groups. The book
begins with chapters that define popular culture, introduce
critical theory and racialized ideology, and examine the ways race,
ethnicity, class, gender, and sexuality are represented. Additional
chapters explain how racialized stereotypes are historically rooted
in chattel slavery and trace the perpetuation of these images over
three major stages of capitalist development. The final three
chapters explore the perpetuation of negative images of other
subordinated groups, how stereotypes are represented in social
media, and the overall impact of the perpetuation of negative
images on society. Throughout, reflection questions, chapter
vignettes, comprehension questions, and real-world observations
enrich the learning experience.
