      This book focuses on methods by which individuals in the USA who control societal institutions, particularly the mass media, operate to retain their power advantage while maintaining African-American women in a socially and economically depressed status. The author argues that the mass media play an important role in maintaining a social hierarchy of discrimination because it is the primary vehicle by which ideology is transmitted through news and entertainment. In effect the mainstream media have served the interests of the privileged who have defined African-American women and other disenfranchised segments of the population as possessing certain values, belief systems and lifestyles that do not entitle them to receive more than a minimum of societal resources. This book examines the specific methods by which the American power elite use coercion and consent to maintain an inequitable allocation of resources. The author also considers strategies for accomplishing societal transformation and a reallocation of resources.
