Drawing on the extended case study in the Chesapeake region, she highlights media ethics in relation to minorities. Analyses of journalism, advertisements, TV, and film reveal ways these immigrants were unfairly depicted during the 1980s and 1990s and how relationships among law enforcers, journalists, criminals, and Hollywood writers shaped media representations. Du Bois also details the West Indians' response. She places their concerns in the context of an America where dark-skinned immigrants can be subjected to racism and xenophobia, particularly when members of their community commit crimes. Her findings are relevant to the current struggle to balance journalism about terrorists with a desire to treat all Americans fairly. 410 0$aNew Americans (LFB Scholarly Publishing LLC) 606 $aWest Indian Americans in mass media 606 $aMass media$zUnited States 615 0$aWest Indian Americans in mass media. 615 0$aMass media 676 $a070.4/49305896073 700 $aDu Bois$b Christine M.$f1962-$01527030 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910963873403321 996 $aImages of West Indian immigrants in mass media$94477926 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03089nam 2200769Ia 450 001 9910954781303321 005 20250920110029.0 010 $a1-4462-9232-0 010 $a1-4462-5872-6 010 $a1-4462-5187-X 010 $a1-299-65749-4 035 $a(CKB)2670000000523301 035 $a(EBL)880846 035 $a(OCoLC)847624810 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000834921 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12426285 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000834921 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10981569 035 $a(PQKB)11600488 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC880846 035 $a(OCoLC)830948707 035 $a(StDuBDS)EDZ0000116184 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL880846 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10668459 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL496999 035 $a(FINmELB)ELB141626 035 $a(PPN)227901959 035 $a(FR-PaCSA)88869085 035 $a(ODN)ODN0004992428 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000523301 100 $a20110615d2012 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur||||||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aAssessing the quality of survey data /$fJorg Blasius & Victor Thiessen 205 $a1st ed. 210 $aLondon ;$aThousand Oaks, CA $cSage Publications$d2012 215 $a1 online resource (xi, 174 pages) $cillustrations 225 1 $aResearch methods for social scientists 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 08$a1-84920-332-6 311 08$a1-84920-331-8 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references (p.
