Becoming White

Drawn from Imperial Intimacies: A Tale of Two Islands, the lecture will discuss how Professor Hazel Carby employed the insights of Stuart Hall into the nature of identities “as stories we tell ourselves,” and systems of recognition that we adopt, to trace the role of visual culture in the creation of British imperial subjects and subjectivity.
