The Ohio State University Media Industry and Black Popular Cultures Discussion

 

This assignment requires you to compose your own annotated bibliography using the Oxford Bibliographies-Sociology-Popular Culture article as a model (https://library.ohio-state.edu/record=b7558589) (Click link, choose sociology from subject drop menu, click popular culture by Dustin Kidd). You will select one of the subfields/categories from the Oxford list (general overviews, classic works, edited collections, etc.) and follow these guidelines:

Research and identify sources on your selected subfield focusing on black popular culture specifically (and not popular culture generally).

Annotate four of the sources from your subfield, being sure to include for each citation: full citation (MLA or Chicago format); a one-paragraph summary; an analysis of the text that evaluates its usefulness for studying popular culture.

Complete a Bibliography that includes at least ten sources consulted, including the four you annotate.

Your sources must be academic or trade sources. Sources that are non-academic or trade websites are not acceptable.

After choosing your subfield from the Oxford List, the 10 sources you find should focus on the intersection of race and gender, addressing the specific challenges Black/African American women encounter in the Hollywood/entertainment market related to your subfield.
