This volume examines the ways in which the media, including film, television, social media, and gaming, has constructed and sustained a narrative of white supremacy that has entered mainstream American discourse.

With chapters by today’s preeminent critical race scholars, the book looks in particular at the ways media institutions have circulated white supremacist ideology across a wide range of platforms and texts that have had significant impact on shaping our current polarized and racialized social and political landscape. Systematically scrutinizing every media platform, this volume provides readers with an understanding of the ways in which media has provided institutional support for white supremacist ideology, and presents them with the means to examine and analyze the persistence of these narratives within our racial discourse, thus offering the necessary knowledge to challenge and transform these racially divisive and destructive narratives.

White Supremacy and the American Media will be of interest not only to scholars working in critical race studies and popular culture in the United States, but also to those working in the fields of Film and Television Studies, Sociology, Geography, Art History, Communication and Media Studies, Cultural Studies, American Studies, Popular Culture, and Media Studies.

Critical Race Theory and the American Media analyzes the widespread circulation of Critical Race Theory (CRT) within academic and popular discourses and its relationship to media studies.

Undertaking a two-tiered analysis of CRT and media studies, this volume showcases the wide range of media analyses conducted by a diversity of researchers that utilize CRT as a methodological and theoretical framework for demonstrating how systemic racism impacts media industries. It also analyzes how the current anti-CRT backlash that occurred throughout the American media landscape contributes to the systemic racism that perpetuates inequities and racial injustice in America.

This comprehensive study will interest students and scholars of critical race studies, media studies, film and television studies, cultural studies, American studies, ethnic studies, sociology, communication, and pop culture.
