The unseen truth : when race changed sight in America Cover Image E-book E-book

The unseen truth : when race changed sight in America / Sarah Lewis.

Lewis, Sarah Elizabeth, 1979- (author.).

Summary:

"Sarah Lewis deciphers the hugely popular nineteenth-century images that failed to dislodge Americans' faith in the mythical white homeland of the Caucasus. Actual Caucasians little resemble race science's ideals of whiteness, so Americans learned to manipulate their visual regime-and visual media-to suppress evidence of race's incoherence."-- Provided by publisher.
