Who We Be: The Colorization of America by Jeff Chang

5.0

Our perceptions are often shaped by the media. From newspaper cartoons to art to television and the movies, we are inundated with the opinions and thoughts of a few. It's only those who choose to break the stereotypes and challenge the ideas of those few do those perceptions change. Jeff Chang seeks to document how society has changed in regard to race in the media. Morrie Turner's newspaper cartoon WeePals would break down racial stereotypes and mock those who would cling to them. Chang brilliantly documents the change in the media even down to a few small months here in there. It's in these small items that big ideas and social change come from.
