2000 / First Edition
Publisher: Aperture
The Hampton Project by Carrie Mae Weems reexamines historical photographs from the Hampton Institute (currently known as Hampton University), alongside her own images to explore race, education, and power in American history. By responding to these early twentieth-century images, Weems questions ideals of progress and assimilation, highlighting how photography shapes narratives about Black and Indigenous identity, memory, and social control.
Essays by Frederick Rudolph, Constance W Glenn, Deborah Willis-Kennedy, and Jeanne Zeidler. Also accompanied by an interview by Denise Ramzy and Katherine Fogg.
Condition: Hardcover. Like new. Minimal wear to dustjacket, otherwise in very good condition.
