Cold War Camera explores the visual mediation of the Cold War and
illuminates photography's role in shaping the ways it was
prosecuted and experienced. The contributors show how the camera
stretched the parameters of the Cold War beyond dominant East-West
and US-USSR binaries and highlight the significance of photography
from across the global South. Among other topics, the contributors
examine the production and circulation of the iconic figure of the
"revolutionary Vietnamese woman" in the 1960s and 1970s;
photographs connected with the coming of independence and
decolonization in West Africa; family photograph archives in China
and travel snapshots by Soviet citizens; photographs of apartheid
in South Africa; and the circulation of photographs of Inuit
Canadians who were relocated to the extreme Arctic in the 1950s.
Highlighting the camera's capacity to envision possible
decolonialized futures, establish visual affinities and
solidarities, and advance calls for justice to redress violent
proxy conflicts, this volume demonstrates that photography was not
only crucial to conducting the Cold War, it is central to
understanding it. Contributors. Ariella Azoulay, Jennifer Bajorek,
