Edited by Sophie Junge and Erin Hyde Nolan
Series: Photography, Place, Environment This edited volume considers the many ways in which landscape (seen and unseen) is fundamental to place-making, colonial settlement, and identity formation. Collectively, the authors map a constellation of interlocking photographic histories and survey practices, decentering Europe as the origin of camera-based surveillance.
