*******New from Duke University Press*******
First book to document Puerto Rican TV history reveals prolonged
exclusion of blacks from screen
TUNING OUT BLACKNESS is a history of Puerto Rican television emphasizing
the political and cultural dynamics that have shaped racial
representations in the island's commercial media from the late 1940s to
the 1990s.
The book's website can be found at
http://www.dukeupress.edu/books.php3?isbn=8223-3543-3
"This book not only provides a cultural history of 'blackness' in Puerto
Rican television, it also locates Puerto Rico as a critical blind spot
in both Latin American and U.S. television studies, one that can offer
new insights into the televisual representation of race, family, and
nation."--Chon Noriega, author of /Shot in America: Television, the
State, and the Rise of Chicano Cinema/
