The Global Agenda for Social Justice provides accessible insights
into some of the world's most pressing social problems and proposes
practicable international public policy responses to those
problems. Written by a highly respected team of authors brought
together by the Society for the Study of Social Problems (SSSP),
chapters examine topics such as education, violence,
discrimination, substance abuse, public health, and environment.
The volume provides recommendations for action by governing
officials, policy makers, and the public around key issues of
social justice. The book will be of interest to scholars,
practitioners, advocates, journalists, and students interested in
public sociology, the study of social problems, and the pursuit of
social justice.
Scholars in the Sociology of Race have extensively researched
public policy sectors such as housing, taxation, and immigration.
However, media policy research has often failed to effectively
engage with the critical concept of racialization, driven instead
by political and economic perspectives. Racializing Media Policy
fills this gap in the sociological, communications, and media
studies literatures with its focus on the racialized processes that
construct media policy work in the United States. With research
that merges subfields of racialization and media policy, explores
the US broadcasting policy, and examines racialization without
integration and mediating structural challenges, the authors delve
into multiple scenarios of racialization in policy. The chapters
offer theoretical frameworks and case studies to consider the ways
that media policy spaces are embedded with ideologies and praxes
surrounding race. Racializing Media Policy contributes to a wider
understanding of the role of policy work in the media systems,
particularly by examining the ways that race is embedded within
those structures. This unique perspective makes the volume an
important read for scholars across the Sociology and Media Studies
fields, in addition to providing critical context for policymakers.
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.
