""The Third Eye" is an extraordinary contribution to both film history and the theorization of the ethnographic gaze. Informed by Rony's close involvement with contemporary art practice and documentary film production, this fascinating book breaks with familiar genres of academic writing to provide an exciting new take on practices of ethnographic looking, the cultural history of the body, and the racial and sexual politics of visual culture in colonial science."--Lisa Cartwright, University of Rochester
