Media Messages: What Film, Television, and Popular Music Teach Us About Race, Class, Gender, and Sexual Orientation (2nd Edition) – eBook

The latest version of this widely used book uncovers the ways in which popular media perpetuate widespread myths and misunderstanding about cultural diversity. While it focuses on the influence of television, feature films, and popular music, the authors go far beyond media to delve into how our comprehension, values, and beliefs about race, class, gender, and sexual orientation are shaped. They examine how individual histories, intertwined with the collective history of oppression and liberation, contribute to stereotypes and misinformation, as well as how personal interaction with media can impact the potential for individual and social freedom. In addition to updated media examples and expanded theories and analysis, this second edition delves even deeper into the coverage of race in two chapters, discusses more broadly the portrayal and socialization of men and boys in the media, and highlights how class issues have become even more prominent since the Great Recession of the 21st century and the Occupy movements.
