She examines two local shows, New York's \u003ci\u003eInside Bedford-Stuyvesant\u003c\/i\u003e and Boston's \u003ci\u003eSay Brother\u003c\/i\u003e, and the national programs \u003ci\u003eSoul!\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eBlack Journal\u003c\/i\u003e. These shows offered viewers radical and innovative programming: the introspections of a Black police officer in Harlem, African American high school students discussing visionary alternatives to the curriculum, and Miriam Makeba comparing race relations in the United States to apartheid in South Africa. While \u003ci\u003eInside Bedford-Stuyvesant\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eSay Brother\u003c\/i\u003e originated from a desire to contain Black discontent during a period of urban uprisings and racial conflict, these shows were re-envisioned by their African American producers as venues for expressing Black critiques of mainstream discourse, disseminating Black culture, and modeling Black empowerment. At the national level, \u003ci\u003eSoul!\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eBlack Journal\u003c\/i\u003e allowed for the imagining of a Black nation and a distinctly African American consciousness, and they played an influential role in the rise of the Black Arts Movement. \u003ci\u003eBlack Power TV\u003c\/i\u003e reveals how regulatory, activist, and textual histories are interconnected and how Black public affairs television redefined African American representations in ways that continue to reverberate today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDevorah Heitner is a media scholar based in Chicago.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 208\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 x 9.2 x 6.1 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 12, 2013\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47344332407033,"sku":"9780822354246","price":50.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/vKgLuXlNPT9780822354246_e458c903-179a-43c1-a344-84c98d0b5659.webp?v=1769729663","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/black-power-tv-paperback-1","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
