Press blurb: A new generation of Afro-Brazilian media producers have
emerged to challenge a mainstream that frequently excludes them. Reighan
Gillam delves into the dynamic alternative media landscape developed by
Afro-Brazilians in the twenty-first century. With works that confront
racism and focus on Black characters, these artists and the visual media
they create identify, challenge, or break with entrenched racist practices,
ideologies, and structures. Gillam looks at a cross-section of media to
show the ways Afro-Brazilians assert control over various means of
representation in order to present a complex Black humanity. These
images--so at odds with the mainstream--contribute to an anti-racist visual
politics fighting to change how Brazilian media depicts Black people while
highlighting the importance of media in the movement for Black inclusion.
