Ofelia Ortiz Cuevas traces the continuity of racial value through the shifting narratives of race by examining the long-running TV series, \u003ci\u003eCOPS\u003c\/i\u003e, and the museum exhibition, \u003ci\u003eWithout Sanctuary\u003c\/i\u003e, which features photographs of lynching. These case studies provide an innovative holistic mapping of the policing and incarceration of Black and Brown people.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Addressing the frequently ignored experiences of Asian and Native Americans, among others, in its comparative undertaking, \u003ci\u003eVisuality of Violence\u003c\/i\u003e exceeds intersectional mapping to uniquely charge the spectacle of racial violence as a foundational practice in its continued presence in contemporary society. Cuevas argues that the visual presentations of the racial body throughout history requires a reckoning and acknowledgement of the material and legal effects of the images, narratives, and practices used to maintain hegemonic racial order and inequality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In holding a theoretical mirror to history, \u003ci\u003eVisuality of Violence\u003c\/i\u003e reveals liberal mythical reliance on the ideals of western law and its rationalities as the location of justice and freedom, thereby presenting its readers with a new understanding in the quest for peace and liberation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In the series \u003ci\u003eCritical Race, Indigeneity, and Relationality\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55763280789878,"sku":"9781439921005","price":17.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_38182583_f6a023be-f5a8-487b-ad41-2e972023c16c.jpg?v=1763787281","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781439921005-visuality-of-violence","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
