Drawing creatively from advertisements, YouTube videos, and everything in between, Guterl redirects our understanding of racial sight away from the dominant categories of color&#8211;away from brown and yellow and black and white&#8211;and instead insists that we confront the visual practices that make those same categories seem so irrefutably important.<\/p>\n<p>Zooming out for the bigger picture, Guterl illuminates the long history of the practice of seeing\u2014and believing in\u2014race, and reveals that our troublesome faith in the details discerned by the discriminating glance is widespread and very popular. In so doing, he upends the possibility of a postracial society by revealing how deeply race is embedded in our culture, with implications that are often matters of life and death.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Seeing Race in Modern America University of North Carolina Press November 2013 Approx. 264 pages 6.125 x 9.25 10 color plates., 97 halftones, notes, index Cloth ISBN: 978-1-4696-1068-9 Matthew Pratt Guterl, Professor of Africana Studies and American Studies Brown University In this fiercely urgent book, Matthew Pratt Guterl focuses on how and why we come [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11,8413,459,8,17,394,20],"tags":[14074,14073,14072,667],"class_list":["post-31395","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-books","category-communications","category-history","category-media-archive","category-monographs","category-socialscience","category-usa","tag-matthew-guterl","tag-matthew-p-guterl","tag-matthew-pratt-guterl","tag-university-of-north-carolina-press"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31395","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=31395"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31395\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=31395"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=31395"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=31395"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
