About this Event
The book uses rigorous case studies with definitive conclusions and develops a critical perspective on both the cultural and creative industries (CCIs) and diversity politics. Through examining sophisticated processes through which race is negotiated and produced across film, television, public relations and advertising, this book reveals how these industries simultaneously understand race uniformly while operating through heterogeneous structures that both address and enact racism. It does this by drawing on case studies and analyses from the BAFTA, the BFI and beyond, offering essential insights for scholars, practitioners and policymakers working within creative industries for understanding the complex relationship between cultural production, racial identity and systemic inequality in contemporary Britain.
The authors will provide an overview of the book’s key themes and ideas, with comments with respondents (TBA) and audience questions.
The book launch will be followed by a post event reception in UCL's new South Cloisters space.
