"This book has the potential to be the most important book on race in the past three decades."-David Sears

Drawing from close and creative analysis of television news reports, sitcoms, commercials, feature films, and from candid interviews with white Americans, The Black Image in the White Mind offers a comprehensive look at the intricate patterns of racial depiction in the mass media, revealing how those patterns shape and reflect the ambivalent attitudes of Whites toward Blacks.
