The Cultural Politics of Colorblind TV Casting

Warner’s book is especially important to understand how colorblind casting works in contemporary television, allowing for television to use the visual signifier of race without necessarily narrativizing marginalization.

I love this book for the way it critically analyses the practice of colorblind TV casting, which until recently was understood as a way television can achieve diversity, but that is only visual diversity and doesn’t allow us to learn about the various barriers Black people in the USA face.
