- Summary
- "Power and Perspective: Early Photography in China seeks to rethink the global history of photography by recognizing the centrality of photography at the margins. Whereas histories of nineteenth century photography are often told through the story of a single, usually Euro-American, male hero photographer, the premise of Power and Perspective is that making a photograph is a social process. Each of the book's authors focuses on a different aspect of early photography in China, bringing together recent scholarship in the global history of photography and Chinese studies to reframe photography as a set of practices that emerged out of the colonial encounter and evolved to suit the needs of international trade, travel, and the desire to know an unfamiliar territory"--
