Since The NationS Founding, Black Americans Have Had A Unique Perspective On The U.S. ExperienceA Second SightThat Reveals The Truth About The Nation To Itself. As Renowned Media Scholar Sarah J. Jackson Charts In This Bold And Daring Masterwork, At The Center Of This Effort Has Been An Extraordinary Cast Of Black Journalists, Photographers, Filmmakers, Radio Hosts, Podcasters And Other Mediamakers Who Have Drawn On The Visionary Tradition Of Second Sight To Advance Democracy And Broaden Our Most Fundamental American Values.When Black Mediamakers Raise Their Voices And Speak Uncomfortable Truths About America, They Shape Memories Of The Nation And Push Us Toward A Future More Closely Aligned With Our Espoused Values. For Two Centuries, This Second Sight Has Been An Overlooked Engine Of American Democracy.Drawing From W.E.B. Du BoisS Philosophical Work, Deep Historical Analysis, And Dozens Of Interviews With TodayS Most Active Black Mediamakers, A Second Sight Shows These Visionaries Positioned At The Margins Of Their Industries And Navigating Fraught Relationships To Power. TheyVe Warned Of The Greatest Dangers To DemocracyFrom Slavery To Nazism, And Mass Incarceration To Misinformation. Their Work Is Central To Our Culture And Politics. Yet It Is Devalued, Met With Violent Censure, Or Achieved Only Via Ingenious Workarounds To Deliberate Obstructions. This Tension Has Sharpened Their Commitments To Truth.Now, In A Second Sight, One Of Our NationS Foremost Scholars Of American Media, Sarah J. Jackson, Presents An Appraisal That Situates Black Mediamakers At The Vanguard Of Telling The American Story. Brilliant, Urgent And Illuminating, A Second Sight Is An Authentic And Candid Grappling With A Discordant Thread In The American Fabric And, In Tracing A Bolder Vision For The Nation, Presents A Way Forward.
