Description

This study explores how various kinds of social difference are negotiated in a number of African-American cultural contexts. Some of the examples originate within the African-American community itself, but the emphasis of the work is on the effect of the mass media in the larger culture. Topics examined include the treatment of anchorman Max Robinson's AIDS-related death, homophobia and chauvinism in the black music industry, television and literature.
