Industry Reviews

?Laurie Ouellette has created an indispensable resource for those working in media studies, television studies, communication, and critical industry studies. This is a lively and unique collection, including essays by so many and such diverse scholars who take reality television as a context for understanding broader cultural, economic and political conditions and questions about everyday life. The reach of the book is expansive, beginning with industry and labor issues involved in producing reality television, ending with global politics and distribution, with smart, incisive analyses of histories, identity, affect, and subjectivities in between. After several decades of reality television and scholarship that investigates it, this book offers a convincing, important, and timely contribution to the field.? ?Sarah Banet-Weiser, University of Southern California, USA
