A compact monograph on photography, ethics, and representation

Susan Meiselas is presented here through the concerns that have shaped her documentary practice: political upheaval in Central America during the 1970s and 1980s, exploitation, and the responsibilities involved in making and circulating images of other people. The book’s framing places photographs in dialogue with questions of representation, collective memory, and the photographer’s own position in relation to her subjects. As part of the Photofile series, this 144-page volume offers a focused entry point into Meiselas’s work and its role in debates about documentary photography.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in documentary photography and photojournalism
  • Students of visual culture, ethics, and representation
  • Fans of photographer monographs and the Photofile series

Book overview

Best known for her work documenting the political upheaval in Central America during the 1970s and '80s, American photographer Susan Meiselas has been at the forefront of ethical debates around documentary photography for most of her career. Through close engagement with subjects such as war and exploitation, she has interrogated her own relationship to what she's photographing, the circulation and dissemination of these images, and the pivotal questions around social and cultural representation and memory. Her influential contribution to the way audiences approach and engage with photography is as vital and resonant today as it was forty years ago.
