Summary

A concise survey of Susan Meiselas's documentary photography

This new addition to the Photofile series profiles American documentary photographer Susan Meiselas and includes short texts by Meiselas herself to accompany each work.

Description

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 40 years ago.

This new addition to the Photofile series also includes short texts by Meiselas herself accompanying each work in the volume.
