Review: Racism, Sexism and the Media: The Rise of Class Communication in Multicultural America (original) (raw)

The review examines "Racism, Sexism and the Media: The Rise of Class Communication in Multicultural America," authored by Wilson, Gutierrez, and Chao. It highlights the authors' extensive documentation of the relationship between mass media and non-White populations in the U.S., addressing themes of race relations, audience segmentation, and the evolution of alternative media. While acknowledging the historical context of racial stereotyping, the review critiques the authors' approach for lacking a thorough critique of media structures, suggesting a celebration of minority representation instead of deeper analysis.
