Description
Alan Nadel’s provocative new book reminds us that most of the images on early TV were decidedly Caucasian and directed at predominantly white audiences. During this era, prime-time TV was dominated by “adult westerns,” with heroes like The Rebel’s Johnny Yuma reincarnating southern values and Bonanza’s Cartwright family reinforcing the notion of white patriarchy–programs that, Nadel shows, bristled with Cold War messages even as they spoke to the nation’s mythology.
