Colonialist Photography - Imag(in)ing Race and Place (Hardcover)

Colonialist Photography is an absorbing collection of essays and photographs exploring the relationship between photography and European and American colonialism. Packed with over a hundred images, these captivating pictures range from the first experiments with photography as a documentary medium, up to the decolonisation of many regions after the Second World War.
With thirteen essays, Colonialist Photography considers:
* how photographs tended to support the cultural and political rhetoric of racial and geographic difference between the West and its colonies
* the range of images from 'scientific' categorizing and recording methods, to 'commercial' pictures for collection and display, such as postcards and magazine advertisements
* how photographers contributed to cultural, social, and political ideas of race by highlighting racial distinction in their work.
