| Abstract: | "Cold War Camera," edited by Thy Phu, Andrea Noble, and Erina Duganne, explores the role of photography in shaping our understanding of the Cold War. The book argues that photography played a central role in rendering the Cold War visible and knowable, while also ensuring that certain aspects of the conflict remained hidden. The essays in the collection examine how photography was used to assert imperial power, document struggles for liberation, and challenge dominant narratives. The book also includes photo-essays that highlight the possibilities for reanimation and resignification through photography. Overall, "Cold War Camera" offers a critical and global perspective on the visual dimensions of the Cold War. [Extracted from the article] |
