Routledge Companion to Media and Race

<p><em>The Routledge Companion to Media and Race</em> serves as a comprehensive guide for scholars students and media professionals who seek to understand the key debates about the impact of media messages on racial attitudes and understanding. Broad in scope and richly presented from a diversity of perspectives the book is divided into three sections: first it summarizes the theoretical approaches that scholars have adopted to analyze the complexities of media messages about race and ethnicity from the notion of representation to more recent concepts like Critical Race Theory. Second the book reviews studies related to a variety of media including film television print media social media music and video games. Finally contributors present a broad summary of media issues related to specific races and ethnicities and describe the relationship of the study of race to the study of gender and sexuality.</p>
