Description
The relationship between visuality and American foreign policy is a complex one. This book explores how photographers have sought to frame the activities and effects of US policy, often with a critical perspective. Liam Kennedy examines the ways in which selected photographers have pushed the boundaries of photographic practice, reflecting critically on the contexts and scenery of war. The images presented here are often searing, sometimes demonizing and dehumanizing the enemy, but also humanizing friend or victim. By focusing on the human roots of such imagery, this book offers a revisionary understanding of the art of conflict photography. Through his analysis, Kennedy sheds light on the dynamics of power and knowledge that attend the American worldview, and how these shape our perceptions of the world around us.
