The essays in this work focus on a particular genre: the made-for-TV movie, which is usually dismissed as schmaltzy, low-brow, vacuous, apolitical fare by contemptuous critics. But Rapping takes on this prevailing elitist attitude; she defends many of these movies for being public events that wrestle with urgent social issues, and she argues that they often carry progressive, even subversive, messages, albeit in a contradictory way. 410 0$aAmerican culture (Minneapolis, Minn.) ;$v5. 606 $aTelevision and women$zUnited States 606 $aTelevision broadcasting of films$zUnited States 606 $aTelevision broadcasting$xSocial aspects$zUnited States 615 0$aTelevision and women 615 0$aTelevision broadcasting of films 615 0$aTelevision broadcasting$xSocial aspects 676 $a302.23/45/0973 700 $aRapping$b Elayne$f1938-$01712813 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910813090703321 996 $aThe movie of the week$94105289 997 $aUNINA
