Critical Race Theory and the American Media
About this book
Critical Race Theory and the American Media analyzes the widespread circulation of Critical Race Theory (CRT) within academic and popular discourses and its relationship to media studies.
Undertaking a two-tiered analysis of CRT and media studies, this volume showcases the wide range of media analyses conducted by a diversity of researchers that utilize CRT as a methodological and theoretical framework for demonstrating how systemic racism impacts media industries. It also analyzes how the current anti-CRT backlash that occurred throughout the American media landscape contributes to the systemic racism that perpetuates inequities and racial injustice in America.
This comprehensive study will interest students and scholars of critical race studies, media studies, film and television studies, cultural studies, American studies, ethnic studies, sociology, communication, and pop culture.
