The Triumph of Racialized Thought; Notes; Bibliography; IndexSight Unseen explores how racial identity guides the interpretation of the visual world. Through a nimble analysis of late-nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century paintings, photographs, museums, and early motion pictures, Martin A. Berger illustrates how a shared investment in whiteness invisibly guides what European Americans see, what they accept as true, and, ultimately, what legal, social, and economic policies they enact.Art and raceArts, American19th centuryRace awareness in artWhitesRace identityUnited StatesArt and race.Arts, AmericanRace awareness in art.WhitesRace identity701/.03Berger Martin A30331MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910817485003321Sight unseen4127266UNINA
