Minneapolis. 1995. University Of Minnesota Press. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0816622507. 202 pages. hardcover. Jacket design by Diane Gleba Hall. keywords: TV Sociology African American Television. FROM THE PUBLISHER-Bill Cosby, George Jefferson, Sinbad, Rochester-all of these television characters have been part of an ongoing struggle for representations of ‘blackness' in the media's cultural productions. What they represent, and how these depictions reflect and transform society's idea of ‘blackness, ' are the subjects of Herman Gray's WATCHING RACE. Gray's detailed and thorough analyses reveal that series or characters often perceived as ‘safe' or ‘stereotypical' ore also catalysts for sitcoms that demonstrate knowledge of the variety of African American experience. For example, Gray illustrates how The Cosby Show-typically seen as a series designed in the Reagan era to make whites comfortable and to cater to neoconservatives within the African American community-actually enabled productions like Frank's Place, a show distinguished by its portrayals of African Americans in New Orleans. Including recent series like A Different World, In Living Color, Saturday Night Live, and Roc, as well as critiques of news media and political campaigns. WATCHING RACE describes how the many dimensions of a production transform the popular culture that designs and watches it. inventory #21706.
