Invisibility Blues: From Pop To Theory by Michele Wallace
"Invisibility Blues: From Pop To Theory" is a critical exploration of the representation of African Americans in popular culture and the impact of these portrayals on both the black community and American culture at large. The book delves into a variety of media, including film, television, music, and literature, to examine how stereotypes and invisibility perpetuate racial biases. Through a series of essays, the author challenges readers to consider the subtle and overt ways that black people have been marginalized in the arts and how this reflects broader social and political issues. The work serves as a call to action for more nuanced and equitable representation in the cultural landscape.
