Download or read book The African Lookbook written by Catherine E. McKinley and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2021-02-09 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the African Photobook of the Year Award A Choice Outstanding Title of the Year A USA Today "Must-Read for Black History Month" An NPR "Goats and Soda" Editors' Pick A BookRiot Favorite Nonfiction Book of the Year An unprecedented visual history of African women told in striking and subversive historical photographs-featuring an Introduction by Edwidge Danticat and a Foreword by Jacqueline Woodson. Most of us grew up with images of African women that were purely anthropological-bright displays of exotica where the deeper personhood seemed tucked away. Or they were chronicles of war and poverty-“poverty porn.” But now, curator Catherine E. McKinley draws on her extensive collection of historical and contemporary photos to present a visual history spanning a hundred-year arc (1870–1970) of what is among the earliest photography on the continent. These images tell a different story of African women: how deeply cosmopolitan and modern they are in their style; how they were able to reclaim the tools of the colonial oppression that threatened their selfhood and livelihoods. Featuring works by celebrated African masters, African studios of local legend, and anonymous artists, The African Lookbook captures the dignity, playfulness, austerity, grandeur, and fantasy-making of African women across centuries. McKinley also features photos by Europeans-most starkly, striking nudes-revealing the relationships between white men and the Black female sitters where, at best, a grave power imbalance lies. It's a bittersweet truth that when there is exploitation there can also be profound resistance expressed in unexpected ways-even if it's only in gazing back. These photos tell the story of how the sewing machine and the camera became powerful tools for women's self-expression, revealing a truly glorious display of everyday beauty.

Book excerpt: "A country of singular vitality and visual splendor, Senegal is the westernmost African nation. It is steeped in rich traditions, and at the same time, is thriving in the present. Senegal has drawn Europeans to its shores over the centuries, and was strongly influenced by the French, who once ruled it. Having folded European culture into its own, it has become a uniquely rich society where differences dovetail and harmony reigns." "Akihiro Yamamura's photographs create a window into this stunning land. They capture Senegal's lush blend of village life, landscapes and seascapes. And they reveal the country's age-old artisanry and industry, including tie-dying techniques, fishing, and salt collecting at the wondrously tinted Pink Lake. Depictions of daily living are complemented by penetrating portraits of the Senegalese people. Men and women appear, dressed in magnificent tie-dyed "bubus," with proud and piercing stares."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved
