“This collection is an invigorating, even stunning,
revelation. I left it feeling as if I had learned a new language.
Congratulations to Ardis Cameron for the creative insight with
which she has woven together an argument for the indispensable
value of ‘looking’ into the past.” Alice
Kessler-Harris, Columbia University
“This book illuminates the role of the visual in constructions of American national identity. Most impressive is the demonstration that vision itself is not transparent, but an instrument that shapes, even as it is shaped by, relations of power.” Joan W. Scott, Institute for Advanced Study
