Access All Areas: The Diversity Manifesto for TV and Beyond by Marcus Ryder, Lenny Henry
funny
informative
medium-paced
4.5
This book discusses some of the major shortcomings in the performance industry, critiquing the lack of authentically diverse representation in the media.
The tone of the book is jovial and light-hearted, despite heavier source material, and concepts are explained in very user-friendly ways. This is great for the layperson looking for an overview of how diversity can and should be improved both onscreen and behind the camera.
The only criticism is that the book didn't always deliver clear data, but overall, it starts an important discussion that will hopefully push people to seek out missing info on their own, and call for action from television networks.
