Document Summary
Chapter 3: representations of gender: chapter 3 + gill article, media images of men and women, racialized and classed gender, sexism. Anglo/hispanic females (* at least half of wt samples report negative evaluations) Media images intersectionality: white females: more hours watch tv with white cast more body. Intersectionality research permits: different predictions when address non-traditional groups (diff results; media could be beneficial) include difference variables (cultural values, ethnic id) Invention of race: by examining how and when racial concepts became hardened, we can see how historically conditional these concepts are. As the literature scholar roxann wheeler reminds us in the complexion of race (2000), there was an earlier moment in which biological racism [was] not inevitable. Europeans didn"t always think of themselves as white, there is good reason to think that race is socially constructed, indeed arbitrary. This kind of racial thinking developed as the direct result of the slave trade.
