Watching While Black Rebooted: The Television and Digitality of Black Audiences examines what watching while Black means within an expanded U.S. televisual landscape. In this edition, media scholars return to television and digital spaces (those spaces relying on television structure) to think anew about what engages and captures Black audiences and users and why it matters.

The Golden Girls: Tales from the Lanai is a rich collection of essays and interviews that explores the cultural impact of that iconic and comforting American sitcom. Featuring twelve original essays and in-depth interviews with producers, the book offers rare insights into the show’s creation, its beloved characters, long-lasting life in syndication, and appeal for marginalized viewers, especially Black, queer, and female audiences. Perfect for both fans and scholars alike.
