A comprehensive look at the history of African Americans on
television that discusses major trends in black TV and examines the
broader social implications of the relationship between race and
popular culture as well as race and representation. Previous
treatments of the history of African Americans in television have
largely lacked theoretical analysis of the relationship between
representations and social contexts. African Americans on
Television: Race-ing for Ratings fills the existing void by
supplying fundamental history with critical analyses of the racial
politics of television, documenting the considerable effect that
television has had on popular notions of black identity in America
since the inception of television. Covering a spectrum of
genres-comedy, drama, talk shows, television movies, variety shows,
and reality television, including shows such as Good Times, The
Oprah Winfrey Show, and Chappelle's Show-this insightful work
traces a cultural genealogy of African Americans in television. Its
chronological analysis provides an engaging historical account of
how African Americans entered the genre of television and have
continued to play a central role in the development of both the
medium and the industry. The book also tracks the shift in the
significance of African Americans in the television market and
industry, and the changing, but enduring, face of stereotypes and
racism in American television culture.
