Race and the Cultural Industries, Hardback Book

Race and the Cultural Industries Hardback

Hardback

Description

Studies of race and media are dominated by textual approaches that explore the politics of representation.

But there is little understanding of how and why representations of race in the media take the shape that they do.

How, one might ask, is race created by cultural industries?

In this important new book, Anamik Saha encourages readers to focus on the production of representations of racial and ethnic minorities in film, television, music and the arts.

His interdisciplinary approach combines critical media studies and media industries research with postcolonial studies and critical race perspectives to reveal how political economic forces and legacies of empire shape industrial cultural production and, in turn, media discourses around race. Race and the Cultural Industries is required reading for students and scholars of media and cultural studies, as well as anyone interested in why historical representations of 'the Other' persist in the media and how they are to be challenged.
