A foundational collection of essays that demonstrate how to study race 
and media.

 From graphic footage of migrant children in cages to #BlackLivesMatter 
and #OscarsSoWhite, portrayals and discussions of race dominate the 
media landscape. /Race and Media/adopts a wide range of methods to make 
sense of specific occurrences, from the corporate portrayal of 
mixed-race identity by 23andMe to the cosmopolitan fetishization of 
Marie Kondo. As a whole, this collection demonstrates that all forms of 
media—from the sitcoms we stream to the Twitter feeds we follow—confirm 
racism and reinforce its ideological frameworks, while simultaneously 
giving space for new modes of resistance and understanding.

In each chapter, a leading media scholar elucidates a set of 
foundational concepts in the study of race and media—such as the burden 
of representation, discourses of racialization, multiculturalism, 
hybridity, and the visuality of race. In doing so, they offer tools for 
media literacy that include rigorous analysis of texts, ideologies, 
institutions and structures, audiences and users, and technologies. The 
authors then apply these concepts to a wide range of media and the 
diverse communities that engage with them in order to uncover new 
theoretical frameworks and methodologies. From advertising and music to 
film festivals, video games, telenovelas, and social media, these essays 
engage and employ contemporary dialogues and struggles for social 
justice by racialized communities to push media forward.
