{"product_id":"technicolored-ann-ducille-9781478000488","title":"Technicolored: Reflections on Race in the Time of TV","description":"From early sitcoms such as \u003ci\u003eI Love Lucy\u003c\/i\u003e to contemporary prime-time dramas like \u003ci\u003eScandal\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eHow to Get Away with Murder\u003c\/i\u003e, African Americans on television have too often been asked to portray tired stereotypes of blacks as villains, vixens, victims, and disposable minorities. In \u003ci\u003eTechnicolored\u003c\/i\u003e 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, \u003ci\u003eTechnicolored\u003c\/i\u003e offers one lifelong television watcher's careful, personal, and timely analysis of how television continues to shape notions of race in the American imagination.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ann Ducille\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1478000481\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781478000488\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Duke University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/14\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2019","brand":"Ann Ducille","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47087616295167,"sku":"9781478000488","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0e790277-cd16-4320-8b1a-5583b84f11fe.jpg?v=1753850350","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/technicolored-ann-ducille-9781478000488","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
