“<i>Media Crossroads</i> offers a remarkable set of essays that demonstrate the new insights that can emerge when we apply a purposeful intersectional lens in media studies. As we move through screen spaces of different types (past, present, public, private) in different media (television, cinema, video games, social media), we feel the exhilaration of this volume's collective experimental project to identify and interrogate spatialized structures of power across the media landscape.” - Jacqueline Najuma Stewart, author of (Migrating to the Movies: Cinema and Black Urban Modernity) “<i>Media Crossroads</i> invites scholars to rethink space and intersectionality, including and going beyond the confines of cities, lands, and architectures. Its analysis of commercial, mainstream, and avant-garde film and media as well as its focus on intersectionality makes it an innovative and important contribution to film and media studies.” - Yeidy M. Rivero, author of (Broadcasting Modernity: Cuban Commercial Television, 1950–1960) "The intersectional lens developed in [<i>Media Crossroads</i>] is original, vigorous, and reflective enough to alter the readers' perspectives towards media texts that they have seen before and the ones they will experience in the future. Its lasting influence will make the readers rethink, reconfigure, and reimagine the potential of intersectional space and identities on and offscreen." - Da Ye Kim (E3W Review of Books)
