• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book contains a summary of how African American
television sitcoms have negatively portrayed African
Americans. This book looks at different television
sitcoms from the 1970's through current day and
discusses the varying stereotypes which have passed
through society from decade to decade. By using
different television sitcoms and theories from
previous studies, the hypothesis in this research
shows the stereotypes running on television
sitcoms have been used to portray the African
American community negatively. While analyzing
eleven African American sitcoms running
from 1970 through present day, the stereotypes that
were placed into society will be shown by using the
content analysis of the shows in the
past years. Research will show the stereotypes are
not viewed by only African Americans, but the rest
of society as well, this being why the stereotypical
nature can no longer exist.
