  • Real Sister: Stereotypes, Respectability, and Black Women in Reality TV

    Rutgers University Press

Real Sister brings together ten black female scholars from a variety of disciplines, in part to address legitimate concerns about how reality TV reinforces stereotypes, but also to inspire a positive and more nuanced conversation about the genre’s representations and their effects on the black community.
