Tina M. Campt · Visual culture and diaspora studies · Duke University Press, 2012 · English
What can a family photograph tell us beyond what first meets the eye? Image Matters: Archive, Photography, and the African Diaspora in Europe examines photographs of Black German families and portraits of West Indian migrants in Britain, asking how images help people express identity and belonging.
Why we are reading it
Campt’s attention to ordinary photographs makes this especially useful for readers working with family albums and community archives. The book offers questions to bring to our own visual records.
