In its earliest days, photography was seen as depicting its
subjects with such objectivity as to be inherently free of
ideological bias. Today we are rightly more skeptical -- at least
most of the time. When it comes to photography from the past, we
tend to set some of our skepticism aside. But should we? In Light
on Darkness? T. Jack Thompson, a leading historian of African
Christianity, revisits the body of photography generated by British
missionaries to sub-Saharan Africa in the nineteenth and early
twentieth centuries and demonstrates that much more is going on in
these images than meets the eye. This volume offers a careful
reassessment of missionary photographers, their photographs, and
their African and European audiences. Several dozen fascinating
photographs from the period are included.
