African photography has emerged as a significant focus of research
and scholarship over the last twenty years, the result of a growing
interest in postcolonial societies and cultures and a turn towards
visual evidence across the humanities and social sciences. At the
same time, many rich and fascinating photographic collections have
come to light. This volume explores the complex theoretical and
practical issues involved in the study of African photographic
archives, based on case studies drawn from across the continent
dating from the 19th century to the present day. Chapters consider
what constitutes an archive, from the familiar mission and state
archives to more local, vernacular and personal accumulations of
photographs; the importance of a critical and reflexive engagement
with photographic collections; and the question of where and what
is 'Africa', as constructed in the photographic archive. Essential
reading for all researchers working with photographic archives,
this book consolidates current thinking on the topic and sets the
agenda for future research in this field.
