A groundbreaking exploration of the complex relationship between photography and foreign policy

In Afterimages: Photography and Foreign Policy, renowned photojournalist and scholar David Levi Strauss explores the complex relationship between photography and foreign policy, examining how images have been used to shape public opinion, justify military interventions, and promote or critique foreign policy goals.

Drawing on a wide range of historical and contemporary examples, Strauss shows how photography has been used to both support and challenge government policies. He examines the role of photojournalism in shaping public opinion about wars and other international conflicts, and the ways in which documentary photography has been used to expose human rights abuses and other injustices.

Strauss also explores the role of photography in propaganda and public diplomacy, showing how governments have used images to promote their own agendas and to influence foreign audiences. He also examines the ways in which photography has been used to critique foreign policy goals, and to challenge the dominant narratives about war and peace.

Afterimages is a groundbreaking work that offers a new perspective on the relationship between photography and foreign policy. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the role of media in shaping public opinion and foreign policy.
