Caught on Tape

Exploring the impact of technology on societal accountability, this book examines how viral recordings of racist and misogynist behavior often lead to a superficial engagement with issues of race and gender. It argues that the obsession with scandalous footage distracts from the deeper, systemic structures of whiteness, white supremacy, and patriarchy. By critiquing the culture of spectatorship surrounding these incidents, it highlights the need for a more profound understanding of antiracism and gender justice, moving beyond mere outrage to foster genuine change.
