From Amos 'n' Andy to The Jeffersons to Family Matters to
Chappelle's Show, this volume covers it all with entries on all
different genres, animation, documentaries, sitcoms, sports,
talk shows, and variety shows, and performers such as Muhammad
Ali, Louis Armstrong, Bill Cosby, and Oprah Winfrey.
Additionally, information can be found on general issues,
ranging from African American audiences and stereotypes through
the related networks and organizations. This book has hundreds
of cross referenced entries, from A to Z, in the dictionary and
a list of acronyms with their corresponding definitions. The
extensive chronology shows who did what and when and the
introduction traces the often difficult circumstances African
American performers faced compared to the more satisfactory
present situation. Finally, the bibliography is useful to those
readers who want to know more about specific topics or persons.
