In 1792, Robert B. Thomas, a schoolteacher, bookseller, and amateur astronomer living near Boston, Massachusetts, began a North American institution when he published the first issue of his Farmer's Almanac. (The word Old was added in 1832.) He was confident of his skills and knowledgeable about his readers. In one of the early issues, he wrote: "We must strive always to be useful, but with a pleasant degree of humor." That timeless formula of providing useful advice and entertaining information has contributed greatly to making The Old Farmer's Almanac an indispensable reference for generations of readers.

Intersectional Media: Representations of Marginalized Identities analyzes media depictions of a variety of intersecting identities. Through a study examining how components of identity such as race, class, ethnicity, age, ability, class, and sexuality mesh and form a unique worldview, contributors to this collection frame their understanding of media intersectionality as complex and multi-layered studies of identity. Rather than focusing on any one component of marginalized identity, this book broadens the scope of inquiry and encourages audiences to recognize the complexity of media analysis when a combination of marginalized identities is depicted. Contributors demonstrate their understanding of how different components of identity combine and create new, original components of identity, paving the way for new studies of both media and identity. Scholars of media studies, identity studies, cultural studies, minority studies, gender studies, race studies, and sociology will find this book particularly useful.
