Intersectionality, Political Economy, and Media (1st Edition) by Carolyn M. Byerly offers a critical and timely analysis of how media systems are shaped by intersecting structures of power, inequality, and economic control. Bringing together intersectional theory and political economy, this eBook examines how gender, race, class, and global hierarchies influence media production, representation, labor, and ownership.
