Exposing Slavery

Photography, Human Bondage, and the Birth of Modern Visual Politics in America

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Drawing upon unpublished and little-studied photographs of slaves, ex-slaves, and abolitionists, Fox-Amato argues that slavery, abolition, and race in antebellum America cannot be understood without looking at the visual culture photography spawned¿or the development of photography without considering how slavery shaped it.
