In Technicolored black feminist critic Ann duCille combines cultural critique with personal reflections on growing up with the new medium of TV to examine how televisual representations of African Americans have changed over the last sixty years. Whether explaining how watching Shirley Temple led her to question her own self-worth or how televisual representation functions as a form of racial profiling, duCille traces the real-life social and political repercussions of the portrayal and presence of African Americans on television. Neither a conventional memoir nor a traditional media study, Technicolored offers one lifelong television watcher's careful, personal, and timely analysis of how television continues to shape notions of race in the American imagination. 410 0$aCamera obscura book (Duke University Press) 606 $aAfrican Americans on television 606 $aRace on television 606 $aRacism on television 606 $aTelevision programs$zUnited States 615 0$aAfrican Americans on television. 615 0$aRace on television. 615 0$aRacism on television. 615 0$aTelevision programs 676 $a791.4508996073 700 $aDuCille$b Ann$0959802 801 0$bNDD 801 1$bNDD 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557803403321 996 $aTechnicolored$92175115 997 $aUNINA
