About this title

Review:

"A brave and welcome undertaking. . . . One could quibble with some of the author's choices, but the book's most significant contribution may be that it brings this proffered canon together with multiple narratives that jointly demonstrate the exciting complexities and possibilities inherent to the history of photography in China. "Photography and China" offers an excellent and accessible introduction to its topic and will prove informative and rewarding for general reader and specialist alike."--Roberta Wue "Journal of Asian Studies "
