By examining anthropological photographs as a form of history, the book delves into their multifaceted roles in fieldwork and exhibitions. It challenges the notion that photographs create problematic histories due to their ambiguity, arguing instead that their raw quality can reveal new insights. Through various case studies, the author highlights how these images can enrich our understanding of cultural contexts and historical narratives, ultimately showcasing their potential to provide fresh perspectives on anthropological research.
