Black women¿s work in television has been, since the beginning, a negotiation. <i>Black Women and the Changing Television Landscape</i> explores the steps black women, as actors, directors, and producers, have taken to improve representations of black people on the small screen. Beginning with <i>The Beulah Show, </i>Anderson articulates the interrelationship between US culture and the televisual, demonstrating the conditions under which black women particularly, and black people generally, exist in popular culture.
