Race and Contention in Twenty-First Century U.S. Media (Hardcover): Jason A. Smith, Bhoomi K. Thakore Race and Contention in Twenty-First Century U.S. Media (Hardcover)
Jason A. Smith, Bhoomi K. Thakore; Series edited by Charlton D McIlwain, Robin R.Means Coleman
R4,435 Discovery Miles 44 350 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This volume explores and clarifies the complex intersection of race and media in the contemporary United States. Due to the changing dynamics of how racial politics are played out in the contemporary US (as seen with debates of the "post-racial" society), as well as the changing dynamics of the media itself ("new vs. old" media debates), an interrogation of the role of the media and its various institutions within this area of social inquiry is necessary. Contributors contend that race in the United States is dynamic, connected to social, economic, and political structures which are continually altering themselves. The book seeks to highlight the contested space that the media provides for changing dimensions of race, examining the ways that various representations can both hinder or promote positive racial views, considering media in relation to other institutions, and moving beyond thinking of media as a passive and singular institution.

Representations of Black Women in the Media - The Damnation of Black Womanhood (Paperback): Marquita Marie Gammage Representations of Black Women in the Media - The Damnation of Black Womanhood (Paperback)
Marquita Marie Gammage; Series edited by Robin R.Means Coleman, Charlton D McIlwain
R1,431 Discovery Miles 14 310 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

In 1920 W.E.B. Du Bois cited the damnation of women as linked to the devaluation of motherhood. This dilemma, he argues, had a crushing blow on Black women as they were forced into slavery. Black womanhood, portrayed as hypersexual by nature, became an enduring stereotype which did not coincide with the dignity of mother and wife. This portrayal continues to reinforce negative stereotypes of Black women in the media today. This book highlights how Black women have been negatively portrayed in the media, focusing on the export nature of media and its ability to convey notions of Blackness to the public. It argues that media such as rap music videos, television dramas, reality television shows, and newscasts create and affect expectations of Black women. Exploring the role that racism, misogyny and media play in the representation of Black womanhood, it provides a foundation for challenging contemporary media's portrayal of Black women.
