Contested Images: Women of Color in Popular Culture

Editat de Alma M. Garcia
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 sep 2012
Contested Images: Women of Color in Popular Culture is a collection of 17 essays that analyze representations in popular culture of African American, Asian American, Latina, and Native American women. The anthology is divided into four parts: film images, beauty images, music, and television. The articles share two intellectual traditions: the authors, predominantly women of color, use an intersectionality perspective in their analysis of popular culture and the representation of women of color, and they identify popular culture as a site of conflict and contestation. Instructors will find this collection to be a convenient textbook for women's studies; media studies; race, class, and gender courses; ethnic studies; and more.

About the Editor

Recenzii

These articles by seasoned as well as new scholars cover in multiethnic, nuanced ways the role of popular culture for women of color in the United States. From television to film, music to media representations, the essays lay bare the placement and resistances of women of color in the face of industries that function by stereotype. An excellent teaching tool and collection by a respected sociologist who bridges easily the work of social scientists with humanists.
This collection of classic and recent essays highlights critical debates on race, gender, and popular culture. Featuring articles on African American women, Asian American women, Native American women, and Latinas, the volume provides rich examples of film images, beauty images, music, and television as sites of conflict and contestation. Eminently readable, it will be invaluable in the classroom."
With critical visual learning at its core, Contested Images is a powerful feminist collection, an interdisciplinary gift for students and scholars alike. I cannot wait to assign this book in an undergraduate course on women of color.
