Channeling Blackness: Studies on Television and Race in America
By Darnell Hunt
Description
Channeling Blackness: Studies on Television and Race in America presents fifteen classic and contemporary studies of the shifting, complex relationship between popular television and blackness. Using a variety of methodological and theoretical approaches, these essays examine four key issues that have framed popular and scholarly inquiries into the nature of race on television: the black-white binary; the power of media; distinguishing between “negative” and “positive” images; and the relative importance of markets versus racial motives in television.
