“This book joins a growing body of work that punctuates a new and exciting era of DinÉ studies. It is a must-read for anyone who wants to know how Indigenous people exercise sovereignty through decolonizing visual narratives of conquest.” - Melanie K. Yazzie, coauthor of Red Nation Rising: From Bordertown Violence to Native LiberationForegrounding perspectives from DinÉ scholars, artists, and community members, Jennifer Denetdale and Lillia McEnaney document and contextualize the photography of Milton Snow, an undersung ‘hero’ of the history of photography of the Navajo Nation. Their volume shows not only his remarkable artistic talent, but perhaps more importantly, his sympathy with the Diné people during the infamous period of the livestock- reduction program. Comparable to HwÉeldi—the previous century’s Long Walk to Bosque Redondo—stock reduction radically transformed Navajo life.” —James C. Faris, author of The Navajo and Photography: A Critical History of the Representation of an American People“An intimate and compelling counterpoint to the longstanding but deficient narratives regarding overgrazing. No reader will ever be able to think about stock reduction in the same way.” - Kathy M'Closkey, author of Swept Under the Rug: A Hidden History of Navajo Weaving
