Summary

"Media Portrayals" investigates the representation of women in film, television, and news media, examining whether these portrayals reflect evolving roles or perpetuate outdated gender stereotypes. The book analyzes the frequency, types, and quality of female characters, highlighting the impact of media stereotypes on public perception and societal norms. For instance, the historical underrepresentation of women can affect their self-esteem and career aspirations. This study argues that despite some progress, disparities persist. By combining quantitative data on screen time and character archetypes with qualitative analyses of narratives, "Media Portrayals" explores the complex interplay between media, gender, and society.

 
The book begins by introducing key concepts like representation and media effects, then proceeds with analyses of television, film, and news, factoring in elements like blockbuster trends and streaming platforms. The conclusion synthesizes these findings and proposes strategies for promoting diverse portrayals, acknowledging the implications of emerging media technologies.

    "A revelation" – Nigel Farage
    ***
    Nothing like it had ever been done before. In January 2019, the Brexit Party was just a name. Over a matter of weeks, the party would be launched, stand candidates across seventy seats and become the largest single party in the European Parliament.
    Along the way, it fought Establishment quangos, the courts, Parliament, the Speaker and the government – hammering the Conservatives so hard it forced the resignation of their Prime Minister – to win nearly twice as many seats as its nearest rival.
    It was a success beyond anyone's dreams (or, indeed, anyone's worst nightmare). And the inside story of how it happened may serve as a manual of how to – and occasionally how not to – do it.
    This unique book details the wild ride of the brand-new Brexit Party as it heads from triumph in the European elections to disaster in the general election six months later. Packed with hilarious anecdotes about the reality of setting up a new party, it takes the reader on a journey through building the entire apparatus in an impossibly short time frame; losing key players to enemy action; and facing chaotic scenes created by a cat's cradle of legal complications – before arriving at the conclusion that politics is much more difficult than it looks.

    What fuels and sustains activism and organizing when it feels like our worlds are collapsing? Let This Radicalize You is a practical and imaginative resource for activists and organizers building power in an era of destabilization and catastrophe. 
     
     
     
    Longtime organizers and movement educators Mariame Kaba and Kelly Hayes examine some of the political lessons of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the convergence of mass protest and mass formations of mutual aid, and consider what this confluence of power can teach us about a future that will require mass acts of care, rescue, and defense, in the face of both state violence and environmental disaster. 
     
     
     
    The book is intended to aid and empower activists and organizers as they attempt to map their own journeys through the work of justice-making. It includes insights from a spectrum of experienced organizers, including Sharon Lungo, Carlos Saavedra, Ejeris Dixon, Barbara Ransby, and Ruth Wilson Gilmore about some of the difficult and joyous lessons they have learned in their work.
