Are all victims white? Are all villains black? From fears of "amalgamation" used to fan anti-abolitionist flames in nineteenth century New York, to a white female highway patrol officer's "fear of a Mandingo sexual encounter" that was said to have led to the beating and arrest of black motorist Rodney King, conceptualizations of race and gender have fueled fears about crime in the US, past and present. White Victims, Black Villains traces how race and gender have combined in news media narratives about crime and violence in US culture. The book argues that the criminalization of African Americans in US culture has been most consistently and effectively legitimized by news media deeply invested in protecting and maintaining white supremacy. An illuminating, and often shocking text, 'White Victims, Black Villains' ''should be read by anyone interested in race and politics.

"The Ghost Reader: Recovering Women's Contributions to Media Studies offers a fresh perspective on the intellectual history of the field of media studies, a broad scholarly field that encompasses the interdisciplinary and overlapping fields of media studies, cultural studies, and communication studies. By recovering the work of the diverse group of women who labored at the margins of media studies as it took shape during the formative years of communication research between the 1930s and the 1950s, and providing scholarly contexts for this work, The Ghost Reader shows that “intersectional considerations” were key modes of engagement for intellectuals, academics, and activists who happened to be women. They did so decades before feminist perspectives were reintegrated into histories of the field."--
