Inhaltsangabe:

A study of transnational Indigenous activism and colonial photography.

Apparently neutral windows into the past, colonial photographs lie at the center of Indigenous art activism across the globe. Through a series of moving case studies, Adjusting the Lens explores how Indigenous artists in Australia, Canada, Finland, Greenland, Norway, and the United States today confront and redevelop this archive as they strive to empower and revitalize their communities and decolonize the historical record.

She is the author of Pictures of Longing: Photography and the Norwegian-American Migration, among other works. Hilde Wallem Nielssen is professor of intercultural studies at NLA University College, Bergen, Norway, and the author of Ritual Imagination: A Study of Tromba Possession among the Betsimisaraka in Eastern Madagascar, among other works.
