Todd Webb is largely known for his skillful photographic documentation of everyday
life and architecture in cities, most notably New York and Paris, as well as his photographs
of the American West. This new book showcases a different side of Webb's work, taken
from an assignment that took him to eight African countries in 1958, commissioned
by the United Nations to photograph industrial progress in Africa. As Webb's first
large-scale colour photographs, these images present complex constructions of race
and cultural identity during the transitional moment between colonialism and independence
on the African continent. The nearly 2000 images from the trip have never been exhibited
or published in their original format.Rediscovered by the Todd Webb Archive in 2017,
over 200 of these striking photographs are published here alongside contributions
by both African and American scholars that engage the images in their historic and
photographic moment
