Christraud M. Geary; Virginia-Lee Webb (Eds.) — Delivering Views: Distant Cultures in Early Postcards
Sovraccoperta
Washington, DC, Smithsonian Institution Press, 1998. Hardcover. Green cloth. Green illustrated dust jacket. 199 pp. 132 figures, color and monochrome plates. The six contributors discuss how images of Plains Indians, World's Fair cards, and portraits from Africa, the Pacific Islands, Australia, New Zealand, and Japan documented distant cultures but also reinforced Western biases. Included are discussions about differences between original photos and their postcard equivalents as well as artificial settings, costumes and props, colorization, and captions that perpetuated racist, sexist, and romantic stereotypes.- from the dj flap.
