Summary note

"The urgency and complexity of contemporary social justice issues facing the world today mean that activists, scholars, and storytellers need a readily available compendium of cutting-edge scholarship on media and social justice. This handbook represents the collective wisdom of over 40 leading voices across positionalities and perspectives, geographies and generations, meta-theories and methods, and issues and identities. Each of the 32 chapters presents a state-of-the-art systematic overview of a brief history, key concepts, contemporary debates and dialogues, and future directions. We begin with introductory remarks on perspectives, positionalities, and paradigms. The section on Approaches & Analytical Frameworks examine classic and contemporary media theories related to social justice such as political economy, critical cultural studies, reception studies, and framing analyses. The next section on "Methods & Meaning Making" reviews methodological tools such as quantitative criticalism, media ethnography, and critical discourse analysis for media justice researchers. These theories and methods are then applied to specific intersectional identities, contemporary social issues, and communities worldwide in the next section: "Resistance & Revisioning." We conclude with reflections on resistances, reckoning, and reparative justice"-- Provided by publisher.
