Summary:
An authoritative history of combat photography and its cultural,
emotional, and memorial roles, this collection is the first to
examine the vernacular photos of World War I taken by its New Zealand
participants. The book discusses how photography was used to capture
and narrate, memorialize and observe, romanticize and bear witness to
the experiences of New Zealanders at home and abroad. The first to
argue for the importance of New Zealand photography to the history of
war, this overview examines in depth the contradictions of war
photography, as a site of remembrance and forgetting, nation and
sacrifice, mourning and mythology, subjectivity and identity.
