In Image Matters, Tina M. Campt traces the emergence of a black
European subject by examining how specific black European
communities used family photography to create forms of
identification and community. At the heart of Campt's study are two
photographic archives, one composed primarily of snapshots of black
German families taken between 1900 and 1945, and the other
assembled from studio portraits of West Indian migrants to
Birmingham, England, taken between 1948 and 1960. Campt shows how
these photographs conveyed profound aspirations to forms of
national and cultural belonging. In the process, she engages a host
of contemporary issues, including the recoverability of
non-stereotypical life stories of black people, especially in
Europe, and their impact on our understanding of difference within
diaspora; the relevance and theoretical approachability of
domestic, vernacular photography; and the relationship between
affect and photography. Campt places special emphasis on the
tactile and sonic registers of family photographs, and she uses
them to read the complexity of "race" in visual signs and to
highlight the inseparability of gender and sexuality from any
analysis of race and class. Image Matters is an extraordinary
reflection on what vernacular photography enabled black Europeans
to say about themselves and their communities.
