Ronald Jacobs tells the stories of these newspapers, showing how they increased black visibility within white civil society and helped to form separate black public spheres in New York, Chicago and Los Angeles. Comparing African-American and 'mainstream' media coverage of some of the most memorable racial crises of the last forty years such as the Watts riot, the beating of Rodney King, the Los Angeles uprisings and the O. J. Simpson trial, Jacobs shows why a strong African-American press is still needed today. Race, Media and the Crisis of Civil Society challenges us to rethink our common understandings of communication, solidarity and democracy. Its engaging style and thorough scholarship will ensure its appeal to students, academics and the general reader interested in the mass media, race and politics. 410 0$aCambridge cultural social studies. 517 3 $aRace, Media, & the Crisis of Civil Society 606 $aAfrican Americans and mass media 606 $aMass media and race relations$zUnited States 606 $aAfrican Americans in mass media 606 $aAfrican American press 606 $aMass media$xSocial aspects$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xRace relations 615 0$aAfrican Americans and mass media. 615 0$aMass media and race relations 615 0$aAfrican Americans in mass media. 615 0$aAfrican American press. 615 0$aMass media$xSocial aspects 676 $a302.23/089/96073 700 $aJacobs$b Ronald N.$0562070 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910780088803321 996 $aRace, media, and the Crisis of Civil Society$9948599 997 $aUNINA
