Description: This innovative text recounts the history of photography through a series of thematically structured chapters. Designed and written for students studying photography and its history, each chapter approaches its subject by introducing a range of international, contemporary photographers and then contextualizing their work in historical terms.
Review Quotes:
"Global Photography boldly answers the calls to expand and reframe the grand narrative that scholars constructed for photography in the twentieth century. The book broadens the geographic and temporal scope of traditional surveys, integrates multiple voices, and places history into productive dialogue with the present--all while remaining critical of its own choices and cultural biases, and skeptical of any text that claims to represent the whole story of photography."
Tanya Sheehan, William R. Kenan Jr. Professor of Art, Colby College
