Critical Race Media Literacy

<p>This volume offers deeper exploration and advancement of critical race media literacy, a concept which fuses the genres of media literacy and critical media literacy with critical race theory to bring a new and salient frame to the discussion of media literacy across all levels of education in today’s globalized, race-based, and media-saturated climate.</p><p>Bridging the gap in research that has not addressed the ways in which media is a conduit of racial dialogue and ideology, the book brings together a diverse group of scholars that explore their perspectives on critical race media literacy as it is experienced from the interface and consumption of a variety of media texts and social phenomena. Topics addressed include news literacy, children’s literature, Black political movements, media protests, and ethnic rock—<i>Critical Race Media Literacy</i> addresses these topics within existing media literacy contexts to enhance media literacy scholarship and educational pedagogy.</p><p>This book will provide a timely and important resource not only for scholars and students of media literacy and media education but also for educators working in diverse learning settings.</p> <p>Why Critical Race Media Literacy Matters <em>Foreword by Ronald L.
