Race, Media, and the Crisis of Civil Society: From Watts to Rodney King (Cambridge Cultural Social Studies) Book

Since the early nineteenth century, African-Americans have turned to black newspapers to monitor the mainstream media and to develop alternative interpretations of public events. Ronald Jacobs tells the stories of these newspapers in New York, Chicago and Los Angeles for the first time, comparing African-American and 'mainstream' media coverage of racial crises such as the Watts riot, the beating of Rodney King, the Los Angeles uprisings and the O.
