Focusing on images created by photographers based in Senegal and Benin, Bajorek draws on formal analyses of images and ethnographic fieldwork with photographers to show how photography not only reflected but also actively contributed to social and political change. The proliferation of photographic imagery--through studio portraiture, bureaucratic ID cards, political reportage and photojournalism, magazines, and more--provided the means for west Africans to express their experiences, shape public and political discourse, and reimagine their world. In delineating how west Africans' embrace of photography was associated with and helped spur the democratization of political participation and the development of labor and liberation movements, Bajorek tells a new history of photography in west Africa--one that theorizes photography's capacity for doing decolonial work"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Photography $x History $z Africa, French-speaking West $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Photography $x History $z Africa, French-speaking West $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 651 7 $a French-speaking Western Africa. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01692605 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Bajorek, Jennifer, 1970- $t Unfixed $d Durham : Duke University Press, 2020. $z 9781478004585 $w (DLC) 2019980319 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317020314.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=627394709FDF11EA86A3D44697128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
