The Chinese Photobook - From the 1900s to the Present (Hardcover, Second edition)

Newly revised histories of photography as recorded via the
photobook have added enormously to our understanding of the
medium's culture, particularly in places that are often
marginalized, such as Latin America and Africa. However, until now,
only a handful of Chinese books have made it onto historians' short
lists. Yet China has a fascinating history of photobook publishing,
and The Chinese Photobook reveals for the first time the richness
and diversity of this heritage. This now available in a smaller
size, more accessibly priced hardcover edition, volume is based on
a collection compiled by Martin Parr and Beijing- and London-based
Dutch photographer team WassinkLundgren. And while the collection
was inspired initially by Parr's interest in propaganda books and
in finding key works of socialist realist photography from the
early days of the Communist Party and the Cultural Revolution era,
the selection of books includes key volumes published as early as
1900, as well as contemporary volumes by emerging Chinese
photographers.
