Trade Review
"A provocative book. Through rich ethnographic interviews and analysis, Reighan Gillam queries the relationship between black representation in the media and black cultural formation in the contemporary moment. Gillam's engagement with everything from graffiti art to YouTube series gives us a glimpse into a new generation of black politics and social formation in Brazil."--Christen Smith, author of Afro-Paradise: Blackness, Violence, and Performance in Brazil
