Description
This edited collection highlights how people connected with friends and family, students and colleagues, and leaders and communities, in their quest to persevere during the pandemic. The chapters describe how people enjoyed their passions for the arts in new and unexpected ways, given the restrictions of COVID-19 safety protocols, and how scripted and reality television programming helped them escape, however briefly, from the traumas of the pandemic, the racial injustice, the political machismo and divisiveness of this time. This book will be of particular interest to scholars of communication, media studies, sociology, cultural studies, and gender studies.
Reviews / Votes
Persevering during the Pandemic: Stories of Resilience, Creativity, and Connection is essential reading for anyone interested in understanding the COVID-19 pandemic period and how it felt as a lived experience in both our daily lives and our reactions to the larger political and media events that emerged during the pandemic. Taken together, these chapters offer a lucid and provocative exploration of the strategies that we employed to come to terms with and make sense of our altered landscapes. A must-read for anyone interested in understanding the archeology of the strategies we employed during a period we are still living through but have yet to fully comprehend. -- Margaret Tally, State University of New York, Empire State College "In Persevering during the Pandemic, the contributors document people's resilience during the upheaval of the COVID-19 pandemic, in stories that are both accessible and nuanced, considering everyday issues of parenting, gender, politics, academics, and pop culture."----- Carrie P. Freeman, Georgia State University -- Carrie P. Freeman, Georgia State University
