Beskrivning
First published in 2006, this volume provides the first in-depth analysis of the place of visual representations within the process of decolonisation during the period 1945 to 1970. The chapters trace the way in which different visual genres – art, film, advertising, photography, news reports and ephemera – represented and contributed to the political and social struggles over Empire and decolonisation during the mid-Twentieth century. The book examines both the direct visual representation of imperial retreat after 1945 as well as the reworkings of imperial and ‘racial’ ideologies within the context of a transformed imperialism. While the book engages with the dominant archive of artists, exhibitions, newsreels and films, it also explores the private images of the family album as well as examining the visual culture of anti-colonial resistance.

'This book is an important contribution to the historiography of decolonisation ...' Arlis ’... the book benefits from a really excellent introduction by the editors, which situates the material in its political and cultural contexts, as well as deftly introducing the contributions of the invited authors and the main issues that the collection seeks to address... This current volume, edited by Faulkner and Ramamurthy, would be an excellent base from which to proceed. The book has lots of very useful bibliographic references in a range of subject areas, and [...] would be a useful addition to any scholarly library.’ The Art Book ’... important and provocative collection...’ Journal of British Studies
