Malaika Cooper Format: mp3 Length: 10 hrs and 32 mins Release date: 04-08-25 Ratings: Not rated yet Genres: Combat Sports & Self-Defense Publisher's Summary: In Heavyweight, Jordana Moore Saggese examines images of Black heavyweight boxers to map the visual terrain of racist ideology in the United States, paying particular attention to the intersecting discourses of Blackness, masculinity, and sport. Looking closely at the "shadow archive" of portrayals across fine art, vernacular imagery, and public media at the turn of the twentieth century, she demonstrates how the images of boxers reveal the racist stereotypes implicit in them, many of which continue to structure ideas of Black men today.
