Gender, Race, and Class in Media: A Text-Reader

Rating:
Summary: Media, stereotypes, white ideologies, marginalization.
Review: An excellent reader explaining the media's role in perpetrating common stereotypes of historically marginalized people. Includes analysis of advertising, sexual representation, TV and music. An excellent textbook for cultural studies.

Rating:
Summary: Excellent resourse for post-modern media theory.
Review: As the media becomes one of the most dominant means by which we frame our social reality, it becomes crucial for each of us to understand how media can become a mean to someone's own end. An excellent treatment of hegemony and dominant/ prefered readings. This should be a required text in all communication/ social science programs. But it ain't bad readin' for anyone else who consumes media either, namely you!

Rating:
Summary: Fair information, edited by a twit.
Review: I could not finish reading the book, because I could not take the authors seriously. The many misspellings and mechanical errors were far to distracting. This text is a worthy example of how NOT to write a book.
