Reviews" Typecasting is merely the most lucid and instructive history book to be published in the new millennium." -Kurt Vonnegut "In Typecasting , two ace historians offer a profound and sweeping study of the most everyday, often unconscious, forms of prejudice. [It's] bound to make you think--and think again." -Barbara Ehrenreich "With exceptional and profound research on visual cultures, Ewen & Ewen have captured a wide-angle view of the impact of racial imaging. Using the history of art as well as popular imagery, they demonstrate the complexity found in mapping and reading this legacy." -Deborah Willis, author of Reflections in Black: A History of Black Photographs: 1840 to the Present

SynopsisIin this monumental work of popular history, the authors expose the pivotal developments that have made stereotypes a persistent, common language., In Typecasting, two ace historians offer a profound and sweeping study of the most everyday, often unconscious, forms of prejudice. It's bound to make you think - and think again.' - Barbara Ehrenreich 'With great wit and dark irony, the Ewens remind us that modern culture has been a sinkhole of pseudo-scientific stereotype and racial hallucination. Few books so properly deserve the title of required reading.' - Mike Davis', Typecasting chronicles the emergence of the "science of first impression" and reveals how the work of its creators--early social scientists--continues to shape how we see the world and to inform our most fundamental and unconscious judgments of beauty, humanity, and degeneracy. In this groundbreaking exploration of the growth of stereotyping amidst the rise of modern society, authors Ewen & Ewen demonstrate "typecasting" as a persistent cultural practice. Drawing on fields as diverse as history, pop culture, racial science, and film, and including over one hundred images, many published here for the first time, the authors present a vivid portrait of stereotyping as it was forged by colonialism, industrialization, mass media, urban life, and the global economy.
