The Unseen Truth : When Race Changed Sight in America

Sarah Lewis unearths the critical moment when Americans were confronted with the fictions shoring up the nation's racial regime and learned to disregard them. When popular nineteenth-century images of the Caucasus proved the lie of white supremacy, a new visual regime arose to suppress the evidence of the incoherence of racial order.
