Klappentext ""Photography's Other Histories" is a quite remarkable collection of essays on widely ranging photographic practices around the world. In its attention to local cultural inflections to a global technology, to the recuperation of colonial images by their latterday Fourth World subjects, and to the provocative antirealist aesthetics characterizing much postcolonial photography, this volume marks a watershed in both art history, anthropology, and cultural studies."--Lucien Taylor, The Film Study Center, Harvard University Zusammenfassung Moving the critical debate about photography away from its Euro-American center of gravity! this title breaks with the notion that photographic history is best seen as the explosion of a Western technology advanced by the work of singular individuals.
