In this book, Gooding offers twelve clear, cogent, and concise racial rubrics to help users of mainstream media more readily discern patterns hidden in plain sight. The text primarily leverages popular movies as the medium of analysis--since they are unparalleled in their cultural significance--but the rubrics apply to other forms of media, such as television, print, and social media. \"Why does the Black guy die first?\" is a well-known rhetorical question that challenges the disparate treatment of non-White characters onscreen. This subtle statement about the representation of persons of color within mainstream movies has remained largely unexplored until now. \u003cem\u003eRace and Media Literacy, Explained \u003c\/em\u003eprovides concrete concepts and a uniform vocabulary with which to recognize and further analyze these formulaic images.
