Chapters rethink such historically significant programs as Roots and Underground, such seemingly innocuous programs as Soul Food, and such contemporary and culturally complicated programs as Being Mary Jane and Atlanta. The book makes a case for the centrality of these programs while always recognizing the racial dynamics that continue to shape Black representation on the small screen. Painting a decidedly introspective portrait across forty years of Black television, Watching While Black Rebooted sheds much-needed light on under examined demographics, broadens common audience considerations, and gives deference to the preferences of audiences and producers of Black-targeted programming.

Recenzii
"Beretta E. Smith-Shomade distinguishes herself, once again, as the premier television studies showrunner with Watching While Black Rebooted! This collection of essays demonstrates that the 'reboot' can be as innovative, probing, and insightful as the original. The rich new chapters—ranging in topics and critical approaches—center Black television and digital culture, reframing our understanding of the racial, social, cultural, and political dynamics that shape Black televisual representation and reception in our contemporary media landscape. A must-read for must-watch Black TV."
Descriere
Watching While Black Rebooted: The Television and Digitality of Black Audiences examines what watching while Black means within an expanded U.S. televisual landscape. In this edition, media scholars return to television and digital spaces (those spaces relying on television structure) to think anew about what engages and captures Black audiences and users and why it matters.
