With their power to create a sense of proximity and empathy, photographs have long
been a crucial means of exchanging ideas between peoples across the globe; this book
explores the role of photography in shaping ideas about race and difference from the
1840s to the 1948 Declaration of Human Rights. Focusing on Australian experience in
a global context, a rich selection of case studies - drawing on a range of visual
genres from portraiture to ethnographic to scientific photographs - show how photographic
encounters between Aboriginals, missionaries, scientists, photographers and writers
fuelled international debates about morality, law, politics and human rights. Drawing
on new archival research, Photography, Humanitarianism, Empire is essential reading
for students and scholars of race, visuality and the histories of empire and human
rights
