On the Sleeve of the Visual(English, Paperback, Raengo Alessandra) is written by Raengo Alessandra and published by Dartmouth College Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 1584659742 (ISBN 10) and 9781584659747 (ISBN 13).

In this landmark work of critical theory, black studies, and visual culture studies, Alessandra Raengo boldly reads race as a theory of the image. By placing emphasis on the surface of the visual as the repository of its meaning, race presents the most enduring ontological approach to what images are, how they feel, and what they mean. Having established her theoretical concerns, the author's eclectic readings of various artifacts of visual culture, fine arts, cinema, and rhetorical tropes provoke and destabilize readers' visual comfort zone, forcing them to recognize the unstated racial aspects of viewing and the foundational role of race in informing the visual.
