American and British programming that featured the abjection of young, middle-class, liberal white people--such as Broad City, Casual, You're the Worst, Catastrophe, Fleabag, and Transparent--proliferated to wide popular acclaim in the 2010s. Taylor Nygaard and Jorie Lagerwey track how these shows of the white left, obsessed with its own anxiety and suffering, are complicit in the rise and maintenance of the far right--particularly in the mobilization, representation, and sustenance of structural white supremacy on television. Nygaard and Lagerwey examine a cycle of dark television comedies, the focus of which are "horrible white people," by putting them in conversation with similar upmarket comedies from creators and casts of color like Insecure, Atlanta, Dear White People, and Master of None. Through their analysis, they demonstrate the ways these non-white-centric shows negotiate prestige TV's dominant aesthetics of whiteness and push back against the centering of white suffering in a time of cultural crisis. Through the lens of media analysis and feminist cultural studies, Nygaard and Lagerwey's book opens up new ways of looking at contemporary television consumption--and the political, cultural, and social repercussions of these "horrible white people" shows, both on- and off-screen--from publisher's website 650 0 $a Whites on television. 650 0 $a Sex role on television. 650 0 $a Gender identity on television. 650 0 $a Television broadcasting $x Social aspects $z United States. 650 7 $a Gender identity on television. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01749074 650 7 $a Sex role on television. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01114658 650 7 $a Television broadcasting $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01146764 650 7 $a Whites on television. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01174836 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 700 1 $a Lagerwey, Jorie, $e author. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Nygaard, Taylor. $t Horrible white people. $d New York : New York University Press, 2020 $z 9781479805341 $w (DLC) 2020016517 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231219012609.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20210701010917.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=AAE568B8DA3111EB950CCE9F56ECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b NIUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
