Stokes, Jane and Reading, Anna (1999): Media in Britain. Hampshire, UK: Macmillian Press LTD

The chapter on ethnic minorities talks a lot about colonialism and imperialism and makes references to many researchers such as Hartmann and Husband.

Helsby, Wendy (2006): Understanding Representation. London: British Film Institute.
Another generic book on representation, but it's a good basis to grasp the key concept of representation to then go into detail about the portrayal of ethnic minorities. It also takes an interesting look on how 'others' may view our ethnocentric world.
