African American Women in the News offers the first in-depth
examination of the varied representations of Black women in
American journalism, from analyses of coverage of domestic abuse
and "crack mothers" to exploration of new media coverage of
Michelle Obama on Youtube. Marian Meyers interrogates the complex
and often contradictory images of African American women in news
media through detailed studies of national and local news, the
mainstream and Black press, and traditional news outlets as well as
newer digital platforms. She argues that previous studies of
African Americans and the news have largely ignored the
representations of women as distinct from men, and the ways in
which socioeconomic class can be a determining factor in how Black
women are portrayed in the news. Meyers also proposes that a
pattern of paternalistic racism, as distinct from the "modern"
racism found in previous studies of news coverage of African
Americans, is more likely to characterize the media's treatment of
African American women. Drawing on critical cultural studies and
black feminist theory concerning representation and the
intersectionality of gender, race and class, Meyers goes beyond the
cultural myths and stereotypes of African American women to provide
an updated portrayal of Black women today. African American Women
in the News is ideal for courses on African American studies,
American studies, journalism studies, media studies, sociology
studies, women's studies and for professional journalists and
students of journalism who seek to improve the diversity and
sensitivity of their journalistic practice.
