Lewis, Sarah

Lewis’s work gives listeners a starting point to assess how visual stereotyping in the U.S. continues to shape views of the Other. Her rich account is well documented and draws on the work of Frederick Douglass and W.E.B. Du Bois alongside Toni Morrison and critical race theorists who contend that visual persuasion became a normalizing strategy to make the United States a place where racial injustice thrived.

A well-written book that examines creativity, failure, and success. Recommended for anyone who wants to comprehend the value of innovation and discovery, as well as undergraduate and graduate students, scholars, and researchers of psychology, sociology, and the visual and performing arts.
