""Black Light is an erudite and richly illustrated study of the enduring intersections of race and visuality. Reflecting on the telescope, animated visualization, the graphic method, heliography, the chromo-megascope, the telechronoscope, silhouettes, wave theory, black light, and so much more, this book promises to catalyze robust conversations at the intersection of science and technology studies, media archaeology, and black studies, conversations that will in turn inflect histories and theories of photography and cinema.""—Karen Redrobe, author of Undead: (Inter)(in)animation, Feminisms, and the Art of War
