The recurrent patterns she finds across media, across subject matters, and across different races and ethnicities are vividly presented, sobering, and of importance to those both inside and outside of the media. -- Timothy Cook, Reilly Chair in Political Communication, Manship School of Mass Communication, Louisiana State University\u003cbr\u003eMedia \u0026amp; Minorities is a wonder of empirically-grounded comparative research that both illuminates current realities and helps set the agenda for work that will be done in the future. This substantial volume will be a standard reference for those in academia, public policy circles, and community-based media organizations. -- Darrell Y. Hamamoto, University of California, Davis\u003cbr\u003eMedia \u0026amp; Minorities is a must-read not only for political junkies but also for ordinary people who are trying to figure out why minority stereotypes are so ubiquitous on entertainment shows and how those same images are employed in political discourse and in the coverage of minority candidates running for political office. In revealing how the media sometimes surreptitiously invoke stereotypes, Larson demonstrates how the choice of words, descriptions, and images can be used to malign minorities and their causes. Media \u0026amp; Minorities contains a sufficient compendium of research resources to satisfy scholars and enough accessibility to alert other readers to the complexity of media interaction with politics. It is also a wonderful tool for teaching students about the way the media, both broadcast and print, influence the entire political process. -- Wilbur C. Rich, Wellesley College\u003cbr\u003e[Larson] is to be commended for understanding her topic broadly: she targets both news broadcasting and popular entertainment (television, film, radio) and focuses not only on African Americans and Latino\/as but also on Asian Americans and Native Americans. Her numerous film examples range from the contemporary to the classic to the obscure. Armed with thorough scholarly evidence, and selected original data, Larson looks at patterns in coverage of people, political movements, and politicians. * CHOICE *\u003cbr\u003eThis is a god read for those interested in the representation of race and ethnicity in the media, especially in the U.S. Media \u0026amp; Minorities unravels a rich and captivating historical journey through the media coverage of diversity; it shows us what has changed and what has remained the same on screen and in press representations of Otherness * Ethnic and Racial Studies *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 1 \"Reality\" Television: American Myths and Racial Ideology Part 2 Part I: Racial Minorities in Films and Television Entertainment Chapter 3 Racial Politics in Fictional Media: Films and Television Chapter 4 African Americans in Film and Television Entertainment Chapter 5 Native Americans in Film and Television Entertainment Chapter 6 Hispanics in Film and Television Entertainment Chapter 7 Asian Americans in Film and Television Entertainment Part 8 Part II: News Coverage of Racial-Minority Mass Publics Chapter 9 Representations of Racial-Minority Mass Publics in the News Chapter 10 African American Mass Publics in the News Chapter 11 Native American Mass Publics in the News Chapter 12 Hispanic Mass Publics in the News Chapter 13 Asian American Mass Publics in the News Part 14 Part III: News Coverage of Racial-Minority Social Movements Chapter 15 Social Movements and the Media: An Introduction Chapter 16 The Civil Rights Movement and the Mass Media Chapter 17 Native Americans, Chicanos, and Asian Americans: Social Movements and the Media Part 18 Part IV: News Coverage of Racial-Minority Candidates and Politicians Chapter 19 Media Coverage of Candidates and Politicians: An Introduction Chapter 20 News Coverage of Black Candidates and Politicians Chapter 21 Newspaper Coverage of Native American Candidates and Politicians Chapter 22 Coverage of Hispanic Candidates and Politicians Chapter 23 Newspaper Coverage of Asian American Candidates and Politicians Chapter 24 Conclusion","brand":"Rowman \u0026 Littlefield Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51038822269271,"sku":"9780847694532","price":43.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/media-minorities-the-politics-of-race-in-news-and-entertainment-spectrum-series-spectrum-series-race-and-ethnicity-in-national-and-global-politics-9780847694532","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
