Black demons : the media's depiction of the African American male criminal stereotype

Author:	Dennis Rome
Publisher:	Westport, Conn. : Praeger, 2004.
Series:	Crime, media, and popular culture.
Edition/Format:	Book : EnglishView all editions and formats
Summary:	"The African American male criminal stereotype continues to serve as justification for covert and overt racism in contemporary society. Television, cinema, music, and news coverage frequently depict African American males running from the law, committing crimes, victimizing women, and engaging in other illegal activities. Rome examines those images and explains the phenomenon. He discusses the impact of such images on both the African American community and American society in general. He tackles the notion of a "black pathology," a fundamental weakness in African American families that can be traced to their experiences as slaves. This book concludes that both the news media and entertainment outlets must discontinue their practice of equating young African American males with aggressiveness, lawlessness, and violence if we are ever to truly abolish racism in this country."--BOOK JACKET.  Read more...
