The Prime-Time Presidency: The West Wing and U.S. Nationalism
Contrasting strong women and multiculturalism with portrayals of a heroic white male leading the nation into battle, The Prime-Time Presidency explores the NBC drama The West Wing, paying particular attention to its role in promoting cultural meaning about the presidency and U.S. nationalism. Based in a careful, detailed analysis of the "first term" of The West Wing's President Josiah Bartlett, this criticism highlights the ways the text negotiates powerful tensions and complex ambiguities at the base of U.S. national identity--particularly the role of gender, race, and militarism in the construction of U.S. nationalism. Unlike scattered and disparate collections of essays, Trevor Parry-Giles and Shawn J. Parry-Giles offer a sustained, ideologically driven criticism of The West Wing. The Prime-time Presidency presents a detailed critique of the program rooted in presidential history, an appreciation of television's power as a source of political meaning, and television's contribution to the articulation of U.S. national identity..

Prime-Time Feminism: Television, Media Culture, and the Women's Movement Since 1970 (Feminist Cultural Studies, the Media, and Political Culture)
"The author offers surprising connections and comparisons in the book ...and she provides a solid overview of the women's movement in America to the present...Highly recommended for upper-division and graduate media, cultural, and feminist studies collections."--Choice "Dow's critical insights are inventive, ranging wisely across several disciplines, particularly the history of the U.S. women's movement."--Journal of Communication Dow discusses a wide variety of television programming and provides specific case studies of The Mary Tyler Moore Show, One Day at a Time, Designing Women, Murphy Brown, and Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman. She juxtaposes analyses of genre, plot, character development, and narrative structure with the larger debates over feminism that took place at the time the programs originally aired. Dow emphasizes the power of the relationships among television entertainment, news media, women's magazines, publicity, and celebrity biographies and interviews in creating a framework through which television viewers "make sense" of both the medium's portrayal of feminism and the nature of feminism itself."Prime-Time Feminism is an important book for scholars and courses in gender and the media. It is a crucial piece of a picture that has not always been pretty."--Quarterly Journal of Speech Bonnie J. Dow is Assistant Professor of Communication at North Dakota State University..
