Description
The Unseen Truth When Race Changed Sight in America by Sarah Lewis is a masterful exploration of a pivotal era in American history. In this groundbreaking work, art historian and founder of Vision & Justice uncovers the damaging lies that underpinned the nation's racial regime. The nineteenth century saw a turning point when the Caucasian War exposed the instability of the entire system of racial domination. Images from the Caucasus region captivated the American public, revealing that the concept of whiteness was not as clear-cut as it seemed. Cultural and political figures of the time recognized these fictions and responded in various ways, often exploiting or critiquing them. This book sheds light on a hidden history that has gone unseen until now, highlighting the significance of acknowledging the falsehood at the core of racial order.
