White Sight: Visual Politics and Practices of Whiteness

Once again, I find myself being the first Goodreads reviewer of a book I feel somewhat ill equipped to review.
This book is not a 101 type book if you aren't familiar with concepts of anti-colonialism and race as well as with the names of people both in the political and activism spheres you might find yourself doing quite a bite of googling, this isn't a bad thing just something to be aware of.
Mirzoeff puts in words concepts such as the shift to “white-to-blue” in the American racial perception that took its current form somewhere between the BLM revival and the events of January 6th which finally crystalized the shift that I had previously seen intuited but not named.
I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. The copy I received was clearly not formatted properly for any of my devices which resulted in images being either entirely missing or appearing as divorced from their context/the text that should accompany them which often made for a confusing reading experience, I would like to believe that this formatting issue did not affect my review but I would be remiss if failed to acknowledge it.
