Industry Reviews

"Wanzo's book is truly an historical tour de force ... With admirable dexterity, Wanzo analyzes multiple discourses that use sentimental storytelling to deny and minimize contemporary black suffering ... The book is well written, theoretically informed, and accessible and relevant to new generations of students." - Feminist Formations

"Tracing the invisibility of the suffering of African American women across media, The Suffering Will Not Be Televised offers an important analysis of the many ways in which African American women's experiences have been excluded from narratives about social violence and victimization. Wanzo's book serves as a reminder about the necessity of considering gender and race relationally for women's studies, cultural studies, and studies of crime, media, and culture." - Carol A. Stabile, author of White Victims, Black Villains: Gender, Race, and Crime News in U.S. Culture
