Martin Kevorkian is Assistant Professor of English at the University of Texas at Austin.
"Martin Kevorkian argues, with wit and variety, that technology has become a preferred cultural tactic for containing blackness. Kevorkian's insight that the same dynamic that made slavery foundational to the American national project is also at work now in the technological formations of empire is astonishing."-Joseph Tabbi, University of Illinois at Chicago "Color Monitors provides a much-needed survey of racialized representations vis-a-vis technology in contemporary mainstream American culture. Martin Kevorkian navigates among film, advertisements, and narrative fiction in a writing style that is eminently readable without eschewing complexity."-Alexander Weheliye, Northwestern University
