Produktbeschreibung

""Photography on the Color Line" should be widely read and widely taught. In this outstanding book, Shawn Michelle Smith has offered not only a spirited reading of a historically important group of photographs but also a methodology and theoretical grounding that are widely applicable even beyond the specific archive of the Du Bois photographs."--Laura Wexler, author of "Tender Violence: Domestic Visions in an Age of U.S. Imperialism"
