1998 first edition large format paperback with 220 pages in good condition.

The death of an African king in battle, the celebration of aeroplanes as instruments of policing, the panoramic recording of rituals, the hunting trophy draped over a motor-car, the bold gaze of African women in a changing urban landscape, marching groups of Herero men in German uniform. These and other photographs are reprinted from the archive originals and brought under critical inquiry in this volume. The core of the book is an exhibition of colonial photographs from Namibia, dating from the onset of South African colonial rule. The exhibition is accompanied by commentaries which explore the intertwined themes of photography and colonialism.
