Recenzii
In this lucid and meticulously argued book, Tina M. Campt questions the way we see and understand race by examining family photographs of Black Europeans. Her detailed readings of studio portraits, snap-shots, and orphaned images engage the multiple sensory registers on which images solicit and touch us. In our encounter with these photographs of belonging, displacement, and exclusion, we are reminded why images matter. Saidiya Hartman, author of Lose Your MotherNone of the riveting photographs in Image Matters are what they first seem. As Tina M. Campts analysis unfolds, the images of black diaspora communities in Europe are revealed to be infinitely complex. They complicate accepted narratives and link to larger questions about the nature of historical evidence and the historical process. Ultimately, they become a prism for thinking about the diasporic condition itself, drawing attention to the diversity of black experience and to the ways that diaspora involves not only movement but also staying put. Elizabeth Edwards, author of The Camera as Historian: Amateur Photographers and Historical Imagination, 18851918

Descriere
In this writerly text, Tina Campt explores the affective resonances of two archives of Black European photographs for those pictured, their families, and the community. What did the photographs allow the sitters to express? Image Matters looks at photograph collections of four Black German families taken between 1900 and the end of World War II and a set of portraits of Afro-Caribbean migrants to Britain taken at a photographic studio in Birmingham between 1948 and 1960. Campt sees the photographs as paths into the sensory and emotional worlds of those portrayed, and as a key to understanding the lives of Black diasporic communities.
