Technicolored by Ann Ducille

Technicolored by Ann Ducille

Black feminist critic Ann duCille combines cultural critique with personal reflections on growing up with TV as a child in the Boston suburbs to examine how televisual representations of African Americans-ranging from I Love Lucy to How to Get Away with Murder-have changed over the last sixty years.

"Ann duCille offers an eloquent analysis of the relationship between representations of people of color and their absence in television from the 1950s to the presentShe skillfully blends her comprehensive, historically grounded research with personal memories and her present connection to television. . . .  Recommended. Lower-division undergraduates through faculty." - K. Sorensen (Choice) "In her book Technicolored, Ann duCille deftly blends memoir and television criticism to create an important critical intervention into the study of race and media." - Jacqueline Johnson (Film Quarterly) "Technicolored is a beautifully written and deeply engaging text that makes media criticism available in multiple registers. Media critics, Black Studies scholars, those interested in literary experiments that bridge memoir and theory, and all students of culture will learn considerably from duCille’s achievement." - Michael Litwack (The Black Scholar)

Ann duCille is Emerita Professor of English at Wesleyan University and author of Skin Trade and The Coupling Convention: Sex, Text, and Tradition in Black Women's Fiction.
