Trade Review

"A provocative and timely meditation on how black subjects of cultural production trouble visual discourse. By moving beyond any single medium or genre, Fleetwood is able to articulate how visual tropes of blackness circulate across different visual fields, while never losing sight of the unique logics of the media she examines." - Juana Maria Rodriguez, University of California, Berkeley"
