Few other television series have received as much academic, media,
and fan celebration as The Wire, which has been called the best
dramatic series ever created. The show depicts the conflict between
Baltimore's police and criminals to raise a warning about race;
drug war policing; de-industrialization; and the inadequacies of
America's civic, educational, and political institutions. The
show's unflinching explorations of a city in crisis and its nuanced
portrayals of those affected make it a show all about race and
class in America.The essays in this volume offer a range of astute
critical responses to this television phenomenon. More consistently
than any other crime show of its generation, The Wire challenges
viewers' perceptions of the racialization of urban space and the
media conventions that support this. The Wire reminds us of just
how remarkably restricted the grammar of race is on American
television and related media, and of the normative codings of
race---as identity, as landscape---across urban narratives, from
documentary to entertainment media.
