Birth of a nation'hood

gaze script and spectacle in the OJ Simpson case
edited by Toni Morrison and Claudia Brodsky Lacour ; introduction by Toni Morrison
Book - 1997

As they pertain to the scandal, the issues of race, sex, violence, money, and the media are refracted through twelve powerful essays that have been written especially for this book by distinguished intellectuals--black and white, male and female. Together these keen analyses of a defining American moment cast a chilling gaze on the script and spectacle of the insidious tensions that rend our society, even as they ponder the proper historical, cultural, political, legal, psychological, and linguistic ramifications of the affair.
