Ojibwe history viewed through the people in the frame
Gathering more than 200 photographs made through 1950, this visual history examines images of Ojibwe people from early daguerreotypes and formal studio portraits to informal snapshots. Bruce White centers the circumstances of each image: what its subjects were doing, how a photograph came to be made, and how clothing, costumes, and props shaped what appears in the frame. The book also addresses the unequal dynamics between photographers and photographed people, including instances in which images of Ojibwe life were altered. Its emphasis on the pictured individuals offers a way to consider historical photography as a record shaped by participation, presentation, and power.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Readers interested in Ojibwe history and historical photographs
- Photography readers exploring portraiture, archives, and representation
