Empires of Vision brings together pieces by some of the most
influential scholars working at the intersection of visual culture
studies and the history of European imperialism. The essays and
excerpts focus on the paintings, maps, geographical surveys,
postcards, photographs, and other media that comprise the visual
milieu of colonization, struggles for decolonization, and the
lingering effects of empire. Taken together, they demonstrate that
an appreciation of the role of visual experience is necessary for
understanding the functioning of hegemonic imperial power and the
ways that the colonized subjects spoke, and looked, back at their
imperial rulers. Empires of Vision also makes a vital point about
the complexity of image culture in the modern world: We must
comprehend how regimes of visuality emerged globally, not only in
the metropole but also in relation to the putative margins of a
world that increasingly came to question the very distinction
between center and periphery. Contributors. Jordanna Bailkin, Roger
