Media Messages: What Film, Television and Popular Music Teach Us About Race, Class, Gender and Sexual Orientation

by Linda Holtzman

Using sources in Japanese, Chinese and American archives, this text reassesses Woodrow Wilson's agenda at the Paris Peace Conference. It argues Wilson did not "betray" China, but negotiated a compromise with the Japanese to ensure that China's sovereignty would be respected in Shandong Province.

A great read for an introduction to seeing and understanding oppressive identities in media.

This was a required textbook for a class I took that was taught by co-author Leon Sharpe. Overall, this book was interesting and presented me with some new ideas. There were moments, though, where I wish it would have been more in-depth, but it was still helpful for the course. I probably wouldn't have bothered with it if it hadn't been a required text.

Read it for my classes at one point. But It is a compelling read that needed to be reread several times and connected properly. Worth having.
