This book argues that photography, with its inherent connection to
the embodied material world and its ease of transmissibility,
operates as an implicitly political medium. It makes the case that
the right to see is fundamental to the right to be. Limning the
paradoxical links between photography as a medium and the
conditions of political, social, and epistemological disappearance,
the book interprets works by African American, Indigenous American,
Latinx, and Asian American photographers as acts of political
activism in the contemporary idiom. Placing photographic praxis at
the crux of 21st-century crises of political equity and sociality,
the book uncovers the discursive visual movements through which
photography enacts reappearances, bringing to visibility erased and
elided histories in the Americas. Artists discussed in-depth
include Shelley Niro, Carrie Mae Weems, Paula Luttringer, LaToya
Ruby Frazier, Matika Wilbur, Martine Gutierrez, Ana Mendieta, An-My
Le, and Rebecca Belmore. The book makes visible the American land
as a site of contestation, an as-yet not fully recognized
battlefield.
