It is never just One Bad Man. Abuse and exploitation of workers is baked into the very foundations of the entertainment industry.

My Fair Child
A Child born with albinism hears her mother lovingly speak the words, "Mirror, mirror reflecting from the wall, I am seeing the fairest child of all. Smiling warmly like the rays of the sun, you bring much happiness to everyone." The child falls asleep feeling a true sense of security. She dreams of magnificent pale creatures like herself and contentedly sees herself playing amongst her fair-haired friends. The reader feels her child-like innocence as she is later approached by a bully. She appears fearful but not defeated. There is no tolerance for this inappropriate behavior as "The creatures form a circle to protect these fair children from any disrespect." She awakens and shares her dream with her mother and is compassionately reminded of her unique beauty. "Be proud of who you are, let your love shine and hold your head up high fair child of mine." This book was inspired by the author's personal experiences and her strong desire to write a book for children with albinism and their families, as well as for all children. My Fair Child gently speaks to our hearts as it is reminiscent of a child's innocence and the infinite beauty of human diversity.
Emergent Feminisms
Through twelve chapters that historicize and re-evaluate postfeminism as a dominant framework of feminist media studies, this collection maps out new modes of feminist media analysis at both theoretical and empirical levels and offers new insights into the visibility and circulation of feminist politics in contemporary media cultures. The essays in this collection resituate feminism within current debates about postfeminism, considering how both operate as modes of political engagement and as scholarly traditions. Authors analyze a range of media texts and practices including American television shows Being Mary Jane and Inside Amy Schumer, Beyonce’s "Formation" music video, misandry memes, and Hong Kong cinema.
