About the Book

Cold War Camera explores the visual mediation of the Cold War and illuminates photography's role in shaping the ways it was prosecuted and experienced. The contributors show how the camera stretched the parameters of the Cold War beyond dominant East-West and US-USSR binaries and highlight the significance of photography from across the global South. Among other topics, the contributors examine the production and circulation of the iconic figure of the "revolutionary Vietnamese woman" in the 1960s and 1970s; photographs connected with the coming of independence and decolonization in West Africa; family photograph archives in China and travel snapshots by Soviet citizens; photographs of apartheid in South Africa; and the circulation of photographs of Inuit Canadians who were relocated to the extreme Arctic in the 1950s. Highlighting the camera's capacity to envision possible decolonialized futures, establish visual affinities and solidarities, and advance calls for justice to redress violent proxy conflicts, this volume demonstrates that photography was not only crucial to conducting the Cold War, it is central to understanding it.

Review :
"Cold War Camera takes readers from South Africa to Ethiopia, Vietnam to Palestine and Iran, from Chile to China, the Arctic Circle, and beyond. Its reach is sweeping, revealing a world entirely, if differentially, impacted as its most powerful quarreled to suture their place at the top. Just as it sheds light on this rich and storied past, Cold War Camera illuminates the present, proving that the tension and violence associated with the 'official' Cold War-era never ceased but only took on different forms." - Liz Hallgren (International Journal of Communication) "Cold War Camera more than makes the case for photography’s significance as a site of Cold War contestation and modality for reckoning with its violences, including at the most intimate of scales. . . . It is in the contributions of the book as a collective endeavor, exemplified by the collaboratively written introduction and essays, that the promises of a critically global approach to Cold War structures of seeing emerge most powerfully, as vital for tracing the operations and ramifications of a set of knowledge projects premised, at least in part, on their obfuscation." - Nadine Attewell (The Communication Review) "Cold War Camera brings together some exceptional photography writers in a collection exploring an astonishing range of source images. . . ." - Georgia Vesma (History of Photography) "In its breadth and coverage of the politics of photography in the twentieth century, Cold War Camera is unmatched. . . . [it] represents a new generation of the historiography and critique of political photography." - Delinda Collier (Art Bulletin)
