Cold War Camera delves into the intricate realm of visual mediation during the Cold War, shedding light on the profound impact of photography in shaping both its prosecution and its enduring experiences. The contributors present a compelling exploration of how the camera transcended the traditional East-West and US-USSR binaries, highlighting the significance of photography from across the global South. Within this comprehensive volume, the contributors delve into a range of captivating topics, including the production and circulation of the iconic figure of the "revolutionary Vietnamese woman" during the 1960s and 1970s, photographs associated with the emergence of independence and decolonization in West Africa, family photograph archives in China, travel snapshots taken by Soviet citizens, the haunting images of apartheid in South Africa, and the circulation of photographs depicting Inuit Canadians relocated to the extreme Arctic in the 1950s. By emphasizing the camera's capacity to envision alternative decolonialized futures, forge visual connections, and amplify calls for justice to address violent proxy conflicts, this volume establishes photography as an indispensable tool for understanding the complexities of the Cold War.
