NHTMF Season 2

Not Here to Make Friends is back for another season of examining reality television through a critical, often anthropologic, always feminist lens. Through criticism, personal essay, and reporting, seven writers explore the limits of representation, the exploitative on-set labor practices, the racial and gendered caricatures built both in the audition process and in the development boardroom, the gamification of scandal, the nuanced role of religion, and the uncanny valley of image-making.

Published 2023. Designed by Elena Foraker, edited by Olivia Crandall. 82 pages, 5.5" x 8.5" perfect bound.
