Summary
"Allison Page examines U.S. media from the 1960s to today and delivers vital new ideas about how our feelings about race are governed and normalized by our media landscape. Media and the Affective Life of Slavery argues that visual culture works through emotion, a powerful lever for shaping and managing racialized subjectivity"-- Provided by publisher.
