The End? 520 $a "Photographers and their images were critical to the making of Mozambique, first as a colony of Portugal and then as independent nation at war with apartheid in South Africa. When the Mozambique Liberation Front came to power, it invested substantial human and financial resources in institutional structures involving photography, and used them to insert the nation into global debates over photography's use. The materiality of the photographs created had effects that neither the colonial nor post-colonial state could have imagined. Filtering Histories: The Photographic Bureaucracy in Mozambique, 1960 to Recent Times tells a history of photography alongside state formation to understand the process of decolonization and state development after colonial rule. At the center of analysis are an array of photographic and illustrated materials from Mozambique, South Africa, Portugal, and Italy. Thompson recreates through oral histories and archival research the procedures and regulations that engulfed the practice and circulation of photography. If photographers and media bureaucracy were proactive in placing images of Mozambique in international news, Mozambicans were agents of self-representation, especially when it came to appearing or disappearing before the camera lens. Drawing attention to the multiple images that one published photograph may conceal, Filtering Histories introduces the popular and material formations of portraiture and photojournalism that informed photography's production, circulation, and archiving in a place like Mozambique. The book reveals how the use of photography by the colonial state and the liberation movement overlapped, and the role that photography played in the transition of power from colonialism to independence"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Photography $x History $z Mozambique $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Photography $x History $z Mozambique $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Photojournalism $z Mozambique $x History $y 20th century. 651 0 $a Mozambique $x History $y 20th century. 650 7 $a Photography $x Political aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01061785 650 7 $a Photography $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01061826 650 7 $a Photojournalism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01062022 651 7 $a Mozambique. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01214418 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Thompson, Drew Anthony, 1982- $t Filtering histories $d Ann Arbor : University of Michigan Press, 2021. $z 9780472127184 $w (DLC) 2020051723 830 0 $a African perspectives (University of Michigan.
