This study examines the construction of Whiteness and Blackness in the photos of two popular parenting magazines. Our analysis did not indicate that article pictures of African American children were "ghettoized" into certain topics areas, but we did find that African Americans are underrepresented in both ad and article pictures in these magazines. Black children are also less likely than their White counterparts to be pictured with parents in general, and fathers in particular. We argue that these results are indicative of the editors attempts to add strategically placed black children and parents in an effort to "do diversity." By doing this the magazine editors promote a white vision of multiculturalism, which reinforces the normativity of Whiteness and preserves the marginality of Blackness in the presentation of American family life.
