Hello Jeremy,
Sasha Torres edited a volume called Living Color. It's more than ten
years old, but it does aim at the the intersection of race and
television.

Best,
Brian Locke

Recommended databases include Ebsco's Film and Television Literature, FIAF, the Social Sciences Citation Index and the Arts & Humanities Citation Index.
