Tyler Perry has become a significant figure in media due to his undeniable box office success led by his character Madea and popular TV sitcoms House of Payne and Meet the Browns. Perry built a multimedia empire based largely on his popularity among African American viewers and has become a prominent and dominant cultural storyteller. Along with Perry’s success has come scrutiny by some social critics and Hollywood well-knowns, like Spike Lee, who have started to deconstruct the images in Perry’s films and TV shows suggesting, as Lee did, that Perry has used his power to advance stereotypical depictions of African Americans. The book provides a rich and thorough overview of Tyler Perry’s media works. In so doing, contributors represent and approach their analyses of Perry’s work from a variety of theoretical and methodological angles. The main themes explored in the volume include the representation of (a) Black authenticity and cultural production, (b) class, religion, and spirituality, (c) gender and sexuality, and (d) Black love, romance, and family. Perry’s critical acclaim is also explored.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The first role model your child has is you. You will be a major influence on your child, and they will look to you for guidance. In this section, I’ll be looking at how the past can affect the present when it comes to your relationship with your child. #2 If you are a parent, you can unpack and become familiar with your childhood, examine what happened to you, how you felt about it then, and how you feel about it now. After having done that unpacking, only what you need should be put back. #3 When you feel anger or any other difficult emotions around your child, it’s a good idea to consider it a warning. Not a warning that your child is doing anything wrong, but that your own buttons are being pushed. #4 It can be difficult becoming a parent. Your child becomes your most important priority, 24/7. When you are reminded of how you felt as a child, you might feel irritation towards your child. But you should understand and feel with your child when they behave in a way that triggers you.
