"Offering at once a visual as well as political history, Coleman breaks new methodological ground in revealing the imaginative dimensions of social power. A tour de force." -- Greg Grandin, author of The Empire of Necessity and Fordlandia "By joining the many who used photography as part of their struggle, this book reactivates the imperial camera's shutter-one can no longer separate the study of colonies from the study of the sovereign democracies that ran them. This continuity makes Coleman's book a must for every scholar of imperialism." -- Ariella Azoulay, author of The Civil Contract of Photography and Civil Imagination: A Political Ontology of Photography "This is a brilliant work, an extraordinary study that will become a model for historians (and scholars from other fields) who wish to incorporate photography rigorously into their analyses. The author's erudition and his capacity to tease out meanings make this work applicable to all of Latin America (and other neocolonial states), as well as obligatory for anyone who wishes to write intelligently about photography. Although I have worked on the question of photography and history for more than forty years, I can think of no work that is in any way comparable to this book." -- John Mraz, author of Photographing the Mexican Revolution: Commitments, Testimonies, Icons
