The Oprah PhenomenonBook Summary InformationEditor: Jennifer HarrisEditor: Elwood Watson Edition: Hardcover Audio: English (Original Language); English (Unknown); English (Published) Published: 2007-03-16 ISBN: 0813124263 Number of pages: 312 Publisher: University Press of Kentucky Book Reviews of The Oprah PhenomenonBook Review: Terrific CollectionThere are several books about Oprah on the market but for an intellecutally engaged reader this volume is among the very best. The Oprah Phenomenon is a terrific collection of well crafted essays covering a range of topics. The book includes essays on Oprah and race (including the appeal of Oprah to white women), Oprah and femininity (including Black femininity) and Oprah and literacy (including what her television work has done for America), to name a few. I teach courses sociology courses on topics including gender and pop culture and can easily see this book being used in such courses, as a vehicle to address a range of social issues. The book also would serve the general reader, interested in the Oprah Phenomenon.
