The discussion around race doesn't have to be difficult. In this book, Gooding offers twelve clear, logical, and concise categories that help mainstream media users more easily identify patterns hidden in plain sight. The text primarily draws on popular films as a means of analysis, due to their cultural significance, but these categories also apply to other forms of media, such as television, print, and social media.
"Race and Media Literacy, Explained" provides specific concepts and uniform terminology for identifying and further analyzing these types of images. After this dynamically interactive experience, readers will never see media the same way again!
Book Features:
- Interdisciplinary approach to teaching race that draws from film and popular media forms known to most students.
- Guidance for developing media skills for middle, high school, and undergraduate students.
- A HARM Theory category that identifies 6 constant patterns for the portrayal of non-white characters and 6 constant patterns for white characters in mainstream films.
