Jonathan Markovitz argues that mass media ""racial spectacles"" often work to shore up racist stereotypes, but that they also provide opportunities to challenge prevalent conceptions of race, and can be seized upon as vehicles for social protest. This book explores a series of mass media spectacles revolving around the news, prime-time television, Hollywood cinema 606 $aMass media and minorities$zUnited States 606 $aMinorities in mass media 606 $aMass media and race relations$zUnited States 606 $aMass media$xObjectivity$zUnited States 606 $aMass media and criminal justice$zUnited States 606 $aAfrican Americans in mass media 615 0$aMass media and minorities 615 0$aMinorities in mass media. 615 0$aMass media and race relations 615 0$aMass media$xObjectivity 615 0$aMass media and criminal justice 615 0$aAfrican Americans in mass media. 676 $a302.23089/00973 700 $aMarkovitz$b Jonathan$01706920 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910810503403321 996 $aRacial spectacles$94094723 997 $aUNINA
