As We Rise presents an exciting compilation of photographs from
African diasporic culture. With over one hundred works by Black
artists from Canada, the Caribbean, Great Britain, the United
States, South America, as well as throughout the African continent,
this volume provides a timely exploration of Black identity on both
sides of the Atlantic. As Teju Cole describes in his preface, "Too
often in the larger culture, we see images of Black people in
attitudes of despair, pain, or brutal isolation. As We Rise gently
refuses that. It is not that people are always in an attitude of
celebration-no, that would be a reverse but corresponding
falsehood-but rather that they are present as human beings,
credible, fully engaged in their world." Drawn from Dr. Kenneth
Montague's Wedge Collection in Toronto-a Black-owned collection
dedicated to artists of African descent-As We Rise looks at the
multifaceted ideas of Black life through the lenses of community,
identity, and power. Artists such as Stan Douglas, LaToya Ruby
Frazier, Barkley L. Hendricks, Texas Isaiah, Liz Johnson Artur,
Seydou Keita, Deana Lawson, Jamel Shabazz, and Carrie Mae Weems,
touch on themes of agency, beauty, joy, belonging, subjectivity,
and self-representation. Writings by Isolde Brielmaier,
Ugochukwu-Smooth C. Nzewi, Mark Sealy, Teka Selman, and Deborah
Willis among others provide insight and commentary on this
monumental collection.

This book explores the phenomenal resources dedicated to
understanding and encouraging passengers to consume travel from
1900 to 1939, analysing how place and travel were presented for
sale. Using the Great Western Railway as a chief case study, as
well as a range of its competitors both on and off the rails,
Alexander Medcalf unravels the complex and ever-changing processes
behind corporate sales communications. This volume analyses exactly
how the company pictured passengers in the countryside, at the
seaside, in the urban landscape and in the company's vehicles. This
thematic approach brings transport and business history thoroughly
in line with tourism and leisure history as well as studies in
visual culture.
