The 2nd Edition of Race, Culture and Media is the most comprehensive and thorough account we have yet of how media make race, how culture makes race mean, and how those meanings underwrite, sustain, protect, and actualize forms of power that insure advantage and disadvantage based on race and other entangled forms of difference in all of their 21st century permutations, manifestations and expressions.
-- Herman Gray
Saha dives deep into the world of media and the complex articulation of race we see and make sense of on our screens. A powerful and urgent read on how media make, not just represent, race.
-- Myria Georgiou
A stunning, imaginative and up-to-date toolkit to better understand race in 21st-century media. Through vivid case studies and helpful introductions to the key thinkers and theorists in the field, Saha demonstrates how to evaluate the evolving cultural politics of contemporary media, ranging from the Marvel blockbuster Black Panther to gal-dem online anti-racist feminism.
