In ""Haunted Life"", David Marriott examines the complex interplay
between racial fears and anxieties and the political-visual
cultures of suspicion and state terror. He compels readers to
consider how media technologies are ""haunted"" by the phantom of
racial slavery. Through examples from film and television,
modernist literature, and philosophy, he shows how the ideological
image of a brutal African past is endlessly recycled and how this
perpetuation of historical catastrophe stokes our nation's
race-conscious paranoia. Drawing on a range of comparative readings
by writers, theorists, and filmmakers, including John Edgar
Wideman, Frantz Fanon, Richard Wright, Issac Julien, Alain Locke,
and Sidney Poitier, ""Haunted Life"" is a bold and original
exploration of the legacies of black visual culture and the
political, deeply sexualized violence that lies buried beneath it.
