With the emergence of popular culture phenomena, such as reality
television, blogging, and social networking sites, it is important
to examine the representation of Black women and the potential
implications of those images, messages, and roles. Black Women and
Popular Culture: The Conversation Continues provides such a
comprehensive analysis. Using an array of theoretical frameworks
and methodologies, this anthology features cutting edge research
from several scholars interested in the relationship among media,
society, perceptions, and Black women. The uniqueness of this book
is that it serves as a compilation of hot topics such as ABC s
Scandal, Beyonce s Visual Album, and Oprah s Instagram page. Other
themes explored are rooted in reality television, film, and hip
hop, as well as issues of gender politics, domestic violence, and
colorism. The discussion also extends to the presentation and
inclusion of Black women in advertising, print, and digital media."
Talking Black and White: An Intercultural Exploration of
Twenty-First-Century Racism, Prejudice, and Perception investigates
domestic race-related social justice issues and intercultural
communication between Black and White individuals.
Twenty-first-century racism, racial tensions, prejudice, police
brutality, #BLM, misperception, and the role of the past are
deconstructed in an engaging, provocative, and accessible manner.
Gina Castle Bell explores these dynamics through the lenses of
intercultural communication, critical intercultural communication,
critical race theory, critical theory, rhetoric, sociology, race
and racism, interracial communication, Black communication,
identity, identity negotiation, and communication theory. This is
an ideal book for scholars, students, and working professionals who
are interested in intercultural communication, race relations, and
healthy communication across various areas of difference.
How do Black men imagine who they are and what they must do
...within their families, communities, and the world? The essays in
this collection both ask and attempt to answer this question. Based
in communication, and drawing from diverse disciplines, Masculinity
in the Black Imagination seeks to address identity, race, and
gender by examining the communicative dimensions of Black manhood.
The collection works to define, deconstruct, and contextualize the
interactive practice of masculinity as both a local and global
phenomenon.
Reimagining Black Masculinities: Race, Gender, and Public Space
addresses how Black masculinities are created, negotiated, and
contested in public spaces, focusing on how theory meets praxis
when mobilizing for social change. Contributors disentangle
complexities of the Black experience and reimagine the radical
progressive work required for societal health and wellbeing,
forming a mental picture of what the world has the potential to be
without excluding current realities for Black boys and men, civic
manhood, maleness, and the fluidity of masculinities. These
realities are acknowledged and interrogated across private and
public contexts, media, education, occupation, and theoretical
perspectives. This book encourages readers to reenvision social
identity as an ongoing phenomenon, asserting that collective vision
informs action and collective action informs possibilities for
peace and freedom in the world around us. Scholars of
communication, gender studies, and race studies will find this book
particularly interesting.
