Through five compelling case studies from Argentina, Canada, Australia, South Africa, and Cambodia, the book highlights the unique role that photography has played in facilitating recovery processes and reconstructing suppressed histories, even in the absence of a documentary record of the events.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe diverse practices addressed in this book, encompassing artistic, protest, institutional, archival, legal, and personal photography, provoke a fresh examination of the profound links between photography and presence, place, time, spectatorship, and justice.
