Today, dramatic changes in the global political\u003cbr\u003e\neconomy have resulted in an unprecedented rise in major new media ventures for\u003cbr\u003e\nLatinos as everyone seems to want a piece of the Latina\/o media market. While\u003cbr\u003e\ncurrent scholarship on Latina\/o media have mostly revolved around important\u003cbr\u003e\nissues of representation and stereotypes, this approach does not provide the\u003cbr\u003e\nentire story.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn Contemporary Latina\/o Media,\u003cbr\u003e\nArlene Dávila and Yeidy M. Rivero bring together an impressive range of leading\u003cbr\u003e\nscholars to move beyond analyses of media representations, going behind the\u003cbr\u003e\nscenes to explore issues of production, circulation, consumption, and political\u003cbr\u003e\neconomy that affect Latina\/o mass media. Working across the disciplines of\u003cbr\u003e\nLatina\/o media, cultural studies, and communication, the contributors examine\u003cbr\u003e\nhow Latinos are being affected both by the continued Latin Americanization of\u003cbr\u003e\ngenres, products, and audiences, as well as by the whitewashing of “mainstream”\u003cbr\u003e\nHollywood media where Latinos have been consistently bypassed. While focusing\u003cbr\u003e\non Spanish-language television and radio, the essays also touch on the state of\u003cbr\u003e\nLatinos in prime-time television and in digital and alternative media. Using a\u003cbr\u003e\ntransnational approach, the volume as a whole explores the ownership,\u003cbr\u003e\nimportation, and circulation of talent and content from Latin America, placing\u003cbr\u003e\nthe dynamics of the global political economy and cultural politics in the\u003cbr\u003e\nforeground of contemporary analysis of Latina\/o media.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"New York University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49601355972952,"sku":"9781479860586","price":29.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781479860586__676f77c118bb6.jpg?v=1741159586","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/contemporary-latina-o-media-production-circulation-politics","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
