Editorial Reviews:
The core of the book is an exhibition of colonial photographs from Namibia, dating from the onset of South African colonial rule. The exhibition is accompanied by commentaries which explore the intertwined themes of photography and colonialism. The book offers new ways of thinking about Africa's incorporation into the wider world through the production and circulation of images. Photographs were powerful cultural commodities in Namibia, whether used by Germans, South Africans, Americans, or Africans themselves.
