Description:
This book attests to the validity of visual research methods, commonly used across visual sociology and visual anthropology scholarship, as immediately pertinent tools for exploring imperial history.
Review Quotes:
"All in all, De-Illustrating the History of the British Empire with its wide range of visual source materials underlines how images have contributed to imperial myth-making and examines their legacy in a postcolonial world... the single articles are highly recommendable to cultural studies researchers with an interest in cultural history, visual culture, or imperial history." - Nora Pleßke, Journal for the Study of British Cultures
