Zusammenfassung:"A long-overdue study of the depiction of slavery in nineteenth-century American art and visual culture, Hidden in Plain Sight investigates the relationship between proslavery politics and the visual record. By examining a vast array of Civil War-era artworks that champion the institution of enslavement and connecting them with the abolitionist materials to which they respond, Rachel Stephens traces themes of concealment and silence through paintings, photographs, and ephemera and explores how the visual canon of high art was used to cover up, control, and reshape the discourse surrounding the United States' most odious institution."
