The Media War on Black Male Youth in Urban Education

The pedagogy of popular culture has important implications for educators and youth advocates who desire to challenge the myths and distortions that ultimately harm youth. This volume raises awareness of the media war on Black male youth in popular culture, and the impact this image battle has on the discriminatory treatment of the population in urban educational settings. It offers ethical considerations for educators in their critique, consumption and reading of Black male subjectivity in media, and gives practical application of how to do critical media literacy on the ground.
