Description
Summary:From the infamous Access Hollywood tape and leaked tapes of racist celebrity tirade to everyday racist outbursts posted on YouTube: why has our technological capacity to catch powerful white men engaging in racist and misogynist transgressions failed to create a culture of progressive, democratic accountability? 'Caught on Tape' argues that our focus on hot mics and obscene private videos transforms antiracism and gender justice into disempowering forms of spectatorship that ultimately conceal the structural nature of whiteness, white supremacy, and patriarchy.
