From early sitcoms such as I Love Lucy to contemporary prime-time
dramas like Scandal and How to Get Away with Murder, African
Americans on television have too often been asked to portray tired
stereotypes of blacks as villains, vixens, victims, and disposable
minorities. In Technicolored black feminist critic Ann duCille
combines cultural critique with personal reflections on growing up
with the new medium of TV to examine how televisual representations
of African Americans have changed over the last sixty years.
Whether explaining how watching Shirley Temple led her to question
her own self-worth or how televisual representation functions as a
form of racial profiling, duCille traces the real-life social and
political repercussions of the portrayal and presence of African
Americans on television. Neither a conventional memoir nor a
traditional media study, Technicolored offers one lifelong
television watcher's careful, personal, and timely analysis of how
television continues to shape notions of race in the American
imagination.
