Photography on the Color Line – W. E. B. Du Bois, Race, and Visual Culture

TRAMA

""Photography on the Color Line "is both a complicated and fascinating read on race, human displays at expositions, and Du Bois's notion of double consciousness. It is groundbreaking work on the Du Boisian concept of life on the color line."--Deborah Willis, coauthor of "A Small Nation of People: W. E. B. Du Bois and African American Portraits of Progress" ""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"
