[Aflaai] [Kindle] Gender, Race, and Class in Media: A Critical
Reader
By Gail Dines
How do mass media help shape our economic, cultural, political, and personal
worlds?This provocative new edition of Gender, Race, and Class in Media
engages you in critical media scholarship by encouraging you to analyze your
own media experiences and interests. You will explore some of the most
important forms of today's popular culture--including the internet, social media,
television series, films, music, and advertising--in three distinct but related
areas of investigation: the political economy of production, textual analysis, and
audience response. Multidisciplinary issues of power related to gender, race, and
class are integrated into a wide range of articles examining the economic and
cultural implications of mass media as institutions. You not only develop a
comprehensive understanding of the media culture and communication
processes, but also learn how media can be used to subvert prevailing narratives
that reinforce the status quo.New to the Fifth Edition: Two new editors,
