More about the book
The book critically examines the impact of seemingly progressive media, such as The Cosby Show, on racial stereotyping in the United States. It argues that these programs, despite their good intentions, inadvertently contribute to the reinforcement of subtle forms of racism, challenging the prevailing beliefs about their positive influence. Through this analysis, it calls into question the effectiveness of mainstream narratives in addressing racial issues.
