Written in the context of unprecedented dislocation and a global
refugee crisis, this edited volume thinks through photography's
long and complex relationship to human migration. While
contemporary media images largely frame migration in terms of
trauma, victimhood, and pity, so much more can be said of
photography's role in the movement of people around the world.
Cameras can document, enable, or control human movement across
geographical, cultural, and political divides. Their operators put
faces on forced and voluntary migrations, making visible hardships
and suffering as well as opportunity and optimism. Photographers
include migrating subjects who take pictures for their own
consumption, not for international recognition. And photographs
themselves migrate with their makers, subjects, and viewers, as the
very concept of photography takes on new functions and meanings.
Photography and Migration places into conversation media images and
other photographs that the contributors have witnessed, collected,
or created through their diverse national, regional, and local
contexts. Developed across thirteen chapters, this conversation
encompasses images, histories, and testimonies offering analysis of
new perspectives on photography and migration today.
