This book focuses on the way the mainstream and black press have covered cases of controversial political dissent by African American celebrities from Paul Robeson to Kanye West. Jackson considers the following questions: 1) What unique agency is available to celebrities with racialized identities to present critiques of American culture? 2) How have journalists in both the mainstream and black press limited or facilitated this agency through framing? What does this say about the varying role of journalism in American racial politics? 3) How have framing trends regarding these figures shifted from the mid-twentieth century to the twenty-first century? Through a series of case studies that also includes Eartha Kitt, Sister Souljah, and Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf, Jackson illustrates the shifting public narratives and historical moments that both limit and enable African American celebrities in the wake of making public politicized statements that critique the accepted racial, economic, and military systems in the United States"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aRoutledge transformations in race and media ;$v2. 606 $aAfrican American political activists 606 $aAfrican American celebrities 606 $aBlack people$xRace identity 606 $aAfrican Americans$xPolitics and government 615 0$aAfrican American political activists. 615 0$aAfrican American celebrities. 615 0$aBlack people$xRace identity. 615 0$aAfrican Americans$xPolitics and government. 676 $a323.1196/073 676 $a323.1196073 686 $aSOC052000$aSOC001000$aLAN008000$2bisacsh 700 $aJackson$b Sarah J.$f1982-,$01725705 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910831884303321 996 $aBlack celebrity, racial politics, and the press$94129925 997 $aUNINA
