| Summary: | TV's American Dream examines how the U.S. television industry in the 2010s pursued audiences whose ideas about hope, fairness, work and economic class were shaped by the Great Recession. Each chapter focuses on a particular strategy mobilized in the 2010s to speak to audiences about their expectations for and concerns about the Dream. Bringing together research on industrial practices with an examination of sociocultural context, this book demonstrates how interconnected forces give rise to the television programs, including The Office, Atlanta, Arrow and Friends, among others, that reinforce and redefine audiences' ideas about the world in which they live. |
