Watching While Black: Centering the Television of Black Audiences

by Eric Pierson, Eric Pierson, Robin Means Coleman

"Watching While Black" exclusively considers and critically engages programs that Black audiences watch and enjoy. With fresh perspectives, contributors both expose and introduce programming targeted at very specific and under-examined Black demographics. Cutting across forty years of Black television, the book looks at behind-the-scenes practices, significant historical texts, twenty-first century shows, and programs produced for Black audiences around the world.
