ReviewsThis is an unusually important book. Because of its focus on diversity and its comparative/cross cultural perspective, it makes a distinguished contribution to scholarship on law and popular culture. I know of no other book like it., This path-breaking international study provides essential and timely insights into thecomplex interpenetration of law and popular culture. In an era when visual storytelling is rapidly becoming the dominant mode of communication worldwide, jurists and citizens ignore these findings at their peril., The field of law and popular culture is long on theory but short on empirical work. Ethnicity, Gender and Diversity: Law and Justice on TV is a rare and welcome empirical contribution. Authors and editors Jennifer Schulz and Peter Robson contribute studies of the leading television shows in eight countries during November 2017. This snapshot of a moment in time of the representation of women, ethnic minorities, and LGBT characters will be valuable to researchers who study the impact of pop culture on those who consume it.
