"This book is unprecedented in its importance for introducing the research, methodologies, and perspectives of the Latin American community of scholars of photography and history into the English-speaking world." - James Krippner, coauthor of Paul Strand in Mexico"Gardner's work of placing these Latin American scholars in their context is formidable. In the end, his conclusions offer an abundant contribution to the study of photography in our region of the world." - Daniel Escorza Scorpio Mejía, author of Agustín Víctor Casasola: El fotógrafo y su agencia"The Study of Photography in Latin America makes the case for both the importance of Latin America to the global development of photography and the richness and originality of its recent contributions to photographic and visual studies. Anyone serious about Latin American photography should read this book." - John Lear, author of Picturing the Proletariat: Artists and Labor in Revolutionary Mexico, 1908-1940"A thoroughly readable tour through Latin American photography, guided by the region's leading practitioners and theorists. Methods, history, theory, and a dazzling array of beautiful images: The Study of Photography in Latin America has it all." - Kevin Coleman, author of A Camera in the Garden of Eden: The Self-Forging of a Banana Republic
