“…Despite the growing number of ethnic media studies, descriptive research is prevalent. Some mass media theories that have been used in ethnic media research are uses and gratifications theory (Ogan & Cagitay, 2006), agenda setting (Weill & Casteñeda, 2004), framing (Cuillier & Ross, 2007), and media sociology (Viswanath & Arora, 2000). A strong theoretical focus is useful for ethnic media studies if scholars want to generalize across ethnic groups, regions of the world, time periods, and media types.…”

The growth of ethnic media is a bright trend in the U.S. media market, and media for various cultural groups are expanding in Europe and elsewhere. However, despite increased scholarly attention to ethnic media, ethnic media theoretical concept development has not kept pace. This article has three purposes. It differentiates ethnic media from other media forms and defines related concepts, organizes and models contemporary ethnic media literature, and diagrams an ethnic media model that incorporates concepts from selfcategorization theory. The author focuses on four self-categorization concepts (accessibility, norms, prototypes, and fit) and sets forth propositions derived from the concepts for use in ethnic media research. Methods for refining and testing the concepts are also suggested.

“…' (109) Having cited this work, it is important to note that a significant number of Indigenous tribes have totally rejected gambling as a model of economic development. This may entail a rejection by Indigenous people of the cultural exploitation of "Indian" stereotypes that the gaming industry markets (Cuillier and Dente Ross 2007) as well as ambivalence towards the neo-liberal agendas that have driven its development and which are neatly encapsulated in the National Indian Gaming Association's slogan 'Rebuilding Communities Through Indian Self-Reliance.' Finally, it is significant that Light and Rand introduce their recent study of Indian gambling in the following terms:…”

This essay examines gambling as one thread of a broader fabric of economic relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians. How do these relationships shape the ways gambling is promoted, experienced, regulated and talked about in Australia?; what are the implications of this for the governmentality of Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians?; and how are political and cultural processes of racism and white possession involved in and reproduced through these relationships? What follows is a comparative analysis of discourses on Indigenous gambling in Australia, New Zealand, the United States and Canada. The aim of this comparison is to imagine alternative figures, which might inhabit the intersection of Indigeneity and gambling, to that which currently prevails in the national imagination: the Indigenous problem gambler and target of practical reconciliation policies.

“…Moreover a significant number of Indigenous tribes have totally rejected gambling as a model of economic development. Reasons for this may include distaste of the cultural exploitation of "Indian" stereotypes marketed by the gambling industry (Cuillier and Ross 2007) as well as ambivalence towards the conservative neo-liberal agendas that have driven its development as neatly encapsulated in the National Indian Gaming Association's slogan 'Rebuilding Communities Through Indian Self-Reliance.' It is also important to note that many individuals with Indigenous heritage in America are excluded from gambling's benefits on grounds that include blood quantum and enrollment status.…”

Comparative Discussion of the Racialized Play of Symbolic Capital in Cultural and Political Economies of Indigenous Gambling in Australia and the United States

This article aims to unsettle a pervasive cultural distinction between gambling – on one hand - and the competitive games of society – on the other - by exploring the role of whiteness as a form of symbolic capital in two different but closely related nations. Rather than following Pierre Bourdieu in relegating gambling to the constitutive outside of neo-liberal cultural and political economies, where sub-proletarian subjects are rendered simultaneously the object of an academic gaze and of public worrying about problem gambling, I will explore racialized dimensions of the many games of strength, skill and chance that constitute everyday culture in ex-settler-colonial nations. Comparative discussion highlights the role of gambling in mediating and transforming relationships of sovereignty between Indigenous and non-Indigenous citizens in Australia and the US.
