Media, Myth, and Millennials: Critical Perspectives on Race and Culture debunks the post-racial myth among millennial media consumers and producers. This theoretically diverse collection of contributors highlights the complexity at the intersections of media, race, gender, sexuality, class and place. Loren Saxton Coleman and Christopher Campbell’s edited collection offers critical and cultural insight on the commodification of millennial audiences and the acts of resistance that emerge from millennial media producers and consumers. Scholars of sociology, media studies, race studies, gender studies, and cultural studies will find this book especially useful.
This immensely useful volume explores how the generation that grew up with Twitter, memes, YouTube, and streaming television engages with racial and cultural politics today. As a remarkable teaching tool, it will spark essential conversations about a range of the most pressing social and political issues of our time, from the Black Lives Matter movement and gentrification to cultural appropriation and efforts to diversify media representations.
