Exposing Slavery

Drawing upon unpublished and little-studied photographs of slaves, ex-slaves, and abolitionists, Fox-Amato argues that slavery, abolition, and race in antebellum America cannot be understood without looking at the visual culture photography spawned-or the development of photography without considering how slavery shaped it.

Bazandu-se pe fotografii nepublicate si putin studiate ale sclavilor, fostilor sclavi si abolitionistilor, Fox-Amato sustine ca sclavia, abolirea si rasa in America antebelica nu pot fi intelese fara a privi fotografia de cultura vizuala generata - sau dezvoltarea fotografiei fara avand in vedere modul in care sclavia a modelat-o.
