The Image Of Whiteness - SoftcoverThe invention and continuance of the white race is not just a political, social and legal phenomenon it is also visual. From the advent of early colonial photography in the 19th century to contemporary social media and photographic art, photography has always played, and continues to play, an integral role in the maintenance of the political and social hegemony of whiteness. The technology of the camera is not innocent, nor are the images it produces

  • The invention and continuance of the “white race” is not just a political, social and legal phenomenon – it is also visual. From the advent of early colonial photography in the 19th century to contemporary social media and photographic art, photography has always played, and continues to play, an integral role in the maintenance of the political and social hegemony of “whiteness”. The technology of the camera is not innocent, nor are the images it produces or the people who make them.
  • The Image of Whiteness introduces readers to important extracts from the troubling story of whiteness, describing its falsehoods, its paradoxes and its oppressive nature, and highlights some of the crucial work contemporary photographic artists are doing to subvert and critique its image and its continuing power
  • Featuring Abdul Abdullah, David Birkin, Sutapa Biswas, Nancy Burson, Broomberg & Chanarin, Libita Clayton, Buck Ellison, Sophie Gabrielle, Ken Gonzales-Day, Yasmin Gunaratnam, Stacy Kranitz, Michelle Dizon & Viet Le, Nate Lewis, Agata Madejska, Richard Misrach, Kajal Nisha Patel, John Lucas & Claudia Rankine, David Roediger, Paul Mpagi Sepuya, Hank Willis Thomas, Stanley Wolukau-Wanambwa, George Yancy
  • Edited by Daniel C. Blight, a writer based in London. He teaches at the Royal College of Art and the University of Brighton

Just get it!

Ignore the negative reviews. I’m convinced those are from the ones who didn’t actually read the book, lol. Buy the Captivating book and read it first. The second time you read it, do it along with this guided journal. I love it so far, it’s been great just to reflect deeper. No issues with the binding either. My copy is just fine.

Buy the book, too.
Format: Paperback
Somehow I got confused that this was the book AND the workbook; it is not, you must buy each separately. But from what I've read so far, the book says "out loud" what I've frequently thought to myself or felt in my heart. Wish I'd had this 40 years ago!

Disappointed
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
The item was a new purchase. However, several pages were folded; it's a journal that goes with the other two books I purchased.
