I used a combination of Hunter’s One search, Google scholar, Jstor and Muse to find sources relating to my topic of hypervisibility/invisibility. I found out after repeatedly hitting a dead end that it would be difficult to solely search keywords whilst using just the author’s name or the title of the books. I can across a few blogs that were simple criticism of the books but nothing extensive or thorough enough for my research. I then headed back to the above listed sites and tried a different approach, which then led me in the right direction using broader keywords about Morrison’s Bluest Eye, Ellison’s Invisible Man and Rankine’s Citizen.
