Media Messages: What Film, Television, and Popular Music Teach Us About Race, Class, Gender, and Sexual Orientation (2nd Edition) – PDF

This highly anticipated new edition of a widely acclaimed book delves deep into the intricate ways in which popular media shapes our understanding of cultural diversity. While focusing on the undeniable influence of television, feature films, and popular music, the authors take a grander approach by exploring how our values and beliefs about race, class, gender, and sexual orientation are molded. By intertwining personal histories with the collective narrative of oppression and liberation, the book uncovers the origin of stereotypes and misinformation. It also highlights the profound impact that media interaction has on both individual and social freedom. This second edition goes above and beyond, with updated media examples, expanded theories, and comprehensive analysis. Particularly, it delves even deeper into race, shedding light on the subject in two dedicated chapters. Furthermore, it scrutinizes the portrayal and socialization of men and boys in the media, while shedding light on the escalating prominence of class issues since the Great Recession of the 21st century and the subsequent Occupy movements.
