To mark the publication of the second edition of Race, Culture and Media , the author, Anamik Saha, is interviewed by Herman Gray, one of the leading figures in race and media scholarship. In this wide-ranging conversation, the two draw out key themes from the book, including the value of an interdisciplinary approach that brings together cultural studies, political economy, postcolonial studies and media studies, and the importance of historical analysis for tracing both transformations and continuities in the ways media make race. Saha and Gray also reflect on what a focus on race-making might reveal about the current conjuncture, particularly the rise of populist right-wing nationalism, and whether such an approach might help illuminate paths beyond the present crisis.
Saha et al. (Tue,) studied this question.
