Real Sister: Stereotypes, Respectability, And Black Women In Reality Tv - 9780813575063

This book is about how black women are depicted on reality television. The book's ten contributors, black female scholars from a variety of disciplines, provide a wide range of perspectives, while considering everything from Basketball Wives to Say Yes to the Dress. As regular viewers of reality television, these scholars are able to note ways in which the genre presents positive images of black womanhood, even as they catalog a litany of stereotypes about race, class, and gender that it tends to reinforce.
