The Camera as Witness lifts the veil off the little known world of
Mizoram and challenges - through unpublished photographs - core
assumptions in the writing of India's national history. The
pictures in the book establish the transformation of this society
and the many forms of modernity that have emerged in it. It
emphasises how 'indigenous people' in Mizoram used cameras to
produce distinct modern identities and represent themselves to
themselves, consistently contesting outsiders' imaginations of them
as isolated, backward and in need of upliftment. The authors
demonstrate how mostly amateur photographers used visual images to
document a historical trajectory of heady change and continual
reinvention, producing distinct modern identities. By virtue of its
use of visual sources and its engagement with a wide range of
important discourses, this book is relevant for students,
historians, social scientists, political activists and general
readers looking for a fresh approach to Northeast India.
