Abstract

Controlling images of the representation of African-American women have been in the media for a long time and the lack of concern regarding African- American gender roles in the media should be a bigger issue. This thesis focused on the existence of controlling images of African-American women in young adult
characters in recent popular television series and how African-American gender role is portrayed in the series. This thesis uses Black feminists’ thoughts and black scholars’ thoughts in TV series Grown-ish Season 1. To analyze the story, the writer
uses a library research method to gather the data and information that support the analysis. This thesis finds that controlling images of African-American women implicitly maintain their portrayal in the series. Furthermore, this study finds that African-American gender roles show some differences from the existing conservative gender roles.
