Recenzii
'... a well-researched and clearly written book that I can see pairing with one of the Johnsons' films in a graduate or undergraduate course. Ahrens, Lindstrom, and Paisley have given their readers a helpful narrative that connects American fantasies about empire to popular culture. And, even more useful, they have done this by focusing on one couple whose drive to film and document the world was both tireless and entertaining.' American Historical Review
'... the book not only offers greater historical context on race and empire but also contributes to understandings of early 20th-century feminism and gender roles ...' The Journal of Pacific History

Descriere
During the interwar period Osa and Martin Johnson became famous for their films that brought exotic and far-off locations to the American cinema. Before the advent of mass tourism and television, their films played a major part in providing the means by which large audiences in the US and beyond became familiar with distant and 'wild' places across the world. Taking the celebrity of the Johnsons as its case study, this book investigates the influence of these new forms of visual culture, showing how they created their own version of America's imperial drama. Bringing together research in the fields of film and politics - including gender and empire, historical anthropology, photography and visual studies - this book provides a comprehensive evaluation of the Johnsons, their work and its impact.
