During the apartheid era, South Africa employed a comprehensive propaganda apparatus that heavily relied on photography to visually convey the racist political messages of the minority regimes, promote Afrikaner nationalism, and solidify White rule. By uncovering a substantial collection of photographs that have been hidden in archives, this book offers a unique perspective on the institutional context of the regimes photographic production and how it was intricately linked to the objective of building a White nation. Through a close examination of the photographic materials' iconographies, their circulation in printed matters, and a comparison with the works of photographers such as Margaret Bourke-White, Ernest Cole, and David Goldblatt, readers gain fresh insights into the country's visual culture of the period. By challenging the perceived dichotomy between so-called pro- and anti-apartheid photographs, the monograph highlights how the regime was able to position photographs in the gray area of inconspicuousness.
Building a White Nation combines photo theory and art historical analysis with historical studies to appeal to scholars and postgraduate students in cultural studies interested in photo history and theory, visual culture and art history, African studies, South African photography, Afrikaner nationalism, propaganda studies, postcolonial studies, and archive theory. The ebook is available in Open Access. This publication is labeled as GPRC (Guaranteed Peer-Reviewed Content).
