Booknews
Examines the relationship between the media and racial politics in the US and the UK. Gabriel (cultural studies, U. of Birmingham) uses specific examples from the media--film, music, TV, the press, and the Internet--in his analysis of the development and methods of language dissemination. He focuses on case studies such as neo-Nazi music, racialized homophobia, the Rodney King video, and campaigns against police brutality.
