Soap operas and telenovelas are watched by millions of people
around the world every day. As cultural, social, and economic
phenomena, examining them will further our understanding of the
role of global media content in the digital age. Moreover, as these
programs continue to be exported and transformed at regional
levels, and through digitalization, it is more important than ever
to analyze where the genre has been, where it is now, and where it
is going. This collection brings together original scholarship from
an international and trans-disciplinary perspective. Chapters
address timely issues, theories, and debates that are inextricably
linked to soap operas and telenovelas as global industries, as
sites for new audiences, and as hybrid cultural products within the
digital landscape. Bringing depth and originality to the subject
area, each chapter demonstrates the richness of these genres and
their long-term significance as the televisual landscape evolves
and becomes increasingly reliant on technological and creative
innovations.

Though Latinos and African Americans have lived together in large
cities as neighbors, there is much that is still misunderstood
between them. Those who live in non-diverse locales have only news
and entertainment representations on which to base their
information about the two cultures. This new collection of essays
brings together the latest interdisciplinary works by scholars
examining conflicts and convergences among Latinos and African
Americans in mass-mediated and cross-cultural contexts.
Contributions in the form of both empirical and critical
ethnographic research present compelling works in cross-cultural
relations, news, entertainment, news media, education, and
community relations. ^IBrown and Black Communication^R challenges
those who do not think that significant projects and key research
have been conducted on the two largest ethnic communities in the
United States. Of certain appeal to both scholars and those with
more applied needs in media, education, and public policy, this
challenging collection offers a range of perspectives on two widely
diverse bodies of American people.
