Review: "For All the World to See" (Review)
Author(s): K. A. Schwain
Publication: Choice
Date: 9/1/2010
Abstract: The American Library Association reviews the companion book for For All the World to See and names it a Choice Outstanding Academic Title 2010, in the category of Art and Architecture:
"In this compelling, insightful book, cultural historian and art critic Berger (Univ. of Maryland, Baltimore County) underscores the myriad ways that images in advertising, film, photojournalism, and television fashioned and fortified the modern civil rights movement from the early 1950s to the mid 1970s. Echoing cultural critic bell hooks's assertion that the struggle for black liberation was a battle for both visual and political representation, Berger demonstrates how civil rights leaders fought to replace century-old caricatures of doting mammies, entertaining dandies, and exotic primitives with positive portrayals of modern, self-assured, and successful citizens. Analyzing representations of race in the news and entertainment industries, Berger shows how black leaders orchestrated media events to ro

Art and Politics: Between the Covers (Media Coverage)
Author(s): Walter Robinson
Publication: Artnet
Date: 3/30/2010
Abstract: Read about For All the World to See on Artnet in a news story by Artnet editor in chief, Walter Robinson:
"Two new books tackle the subject of art and politics, a topic that is of special interest in the Shepard Fairey era. Scholar Maurice Berger’s For All the World to See: Visual Culture and the Struggle for Civil Rights is due from Yale University Press on Apr. 20, 2010. Six years in the making, the book looks at the role played by visual images, and the rise of television and picture magazines, in the struggle for civil rights in the U.S.
The publication coincides with an eponymous exhibition that opens at the International Center of Photography, May 21-Sept. 12, 2010, and subsequently appears at the two co-organizing institutions, the National Museum of American History in Washington, D.C., and the Center for Art, Design and Visual Culture at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County in Baltimore . . ."

The Find: Images from the Civil Rights Movement (Review)
Publication: Boston Globe
Date: 4/11/2010
Abstract: A mini-review of FOR ALL THE WORLD TO SEE in the BOSTON GLOBE'S "The Find" column in its Sunday book review:
"In 1955, the photograph of Emmett Till’s mutilated body was for many African-Americans the visual equivalent of a knock-out punch. No mainstream newspaper or magazine published the photo, but the black press did. That single image played a powerful role in building the civil rights movement, we learn in Maurice Berger’s “For All the World to See: Visual Culture and the Struggle for Civil Rights’’ (Yale University), being published April 20 to coincide with the opening of a touring exhibit co-presented by the Smithsonian. The book also looks beyond news headlines, analyzing Walt Disney’s “Song of the South,’’ Aunt Jemima, and the 1967 TV show “Julia,’’ in which racism was mainly a thing of the past . . . "

Abstract: FATWTS author Maurice Berger is the latest to be invited to take The Page 99 Test: "Open the book to page ninety-nine and read, and the quality of the whole will be revealed to you."--Ford Madox Ford:
"Page 99 of For All The World To See contains no text, and just a single photograph. But what a powerful image it is: a shot of a distraught Mamie Till Bradley as she views the casket of her fourteen-year old son, Emmett Till, murdered by white supremacists in Mississippi in August 1955. The photograph brings to life the book’s abiding issue: the crucial role that visual culture played in altering prevailing ideas about race, racism, and segregation in the period of the modern civil rights movement . . .

Strange Fruit: Visual Culture at ICP (Review)
Author(s): Laila Pedro
Publication: Idiom Magazine
Date: 6/30/2010
Abstract: IDIOM magazine writes: "There are countless exhibitions, books, films, plays, and dances, like Alvin Ailey’s seminal Revelations, that rely on image to capture the civil rights movement in the United States, especially the bloody struggles of the late fifties, sixties and seventies. The particular intelligence of this exhibition is its focus on the relationship between the image and the struggle, not only at the micro-level of its evocative emotional power, but in the broader context of the media explosion of the mid-twentieth century. To this end, 'this exhibition of 230 objects and clips from television and film examines the extent to which the rise of the modern civil rights movement paralleled the birth of television and the popularity of picture magazines and other forms of visual mass media' . . . .”

Goings On About Town: For All the World to See (Review)
Author(s): Vince Aletti
Publication: The New Yorker
Date: 8/2/2011
Abstract: Read Vince Aletti's excellent short-form review of For All the World to See in the print edition of The New Yorker: INTERNATIONAL CENTER OF PHOTOGRAPHY 1133 Sixth Ave., at 43rd St. (212-857-0000)—“For All the World to See: Visual Culture and the Struggle for Civil Rights.” Taking his cue from Gordon Parks, the curator Maurice Berger has organized a shrewd, sophisticated show that posits the camera—and the proliferation of black images in pop culture—as a crucial weapon in shaping public opinion and motivating change in America before and during the civil-rights era. His evidence is rich and varied, including film clips of Paul Robeson, Amos ’n’ Andy, the March on Washington, Malcolm X, and the Supremes, as well as a wide array of printed matter, from copies of Ebony, Jet, and Sepia to a poster for “Shaft.” The murder of fourteen-year-old Emmett Till, in 1955, and the publication of pictures of his mutilated corpse, is the exhibition’s terrible turning point. In what Berger calls the mo
