The 2017 "Summer of Hate" in Charlottesville became a worldwide
media event, putting at center stage the resurgence of emboldened
and empowered white supremacy and "alt-right" extremism, as well as
the antiracist movement opposing it. Aniko Bodroghkozy's trenchant
study examines this formative moment in recent U.S. history by
juxtaposing it against two other epochal moments that put American
racism and the struggle against it on worldwide display: the 1963
Birmingham and 1965 Selma campaigns of the civil rights movement.
Making #Charlottesville investigates the historical "rhymes" in the
mass media's treatment of these events, separated by half a
century, along with the ways that activists on both sides made use
of the new media environment of their day to organize and amplify
their respective messages. Bodroghkozy teases out the connections,
similarities, and resonances among these events-from the ways all
three places were consciously chosen as stage sets for media
campaigns, to the similarly iconic and heavily circulated images
they produced, to the sustained cultural purchase they continue to
hold in the United States and around the world.
