Snap Judgments: New Positions in Contemporary African Photography features approximately 250 works by 30 artists from across the African continent. The book presents a range of highly individual artistic responses to the unprecedented changes now taking place in the economic, social, and cultural spheres of African nations and provides new insight into the increasing role of the visual arts within the global cultural community. In addition to introducing audiences to the multiple imaginations and voices that constitute today's African artists, the book will explore the way that this body of photo-based art arises from the dialectic of traditional African aesthetic values and Western influences. Contemporary African photography has emerged during a period of significant historical and social change, including the post-World War II de-colonization movements, the quest for independent national identity, and the effects of globalization and modernity.  Snap Judgments: New Positions in Contemporary African Photography  presenta circa 250 opere di 30 artisti provenienti da tutto il continente africano. Il libro presenta una gamma di risposte artistiche altamente individuali ai cambiamenti senza precedenti che stanno avvenendo nelle sfere economiche, sociali e culturali delle nazioni africane e fornisce una nuova visione del crescente ruolo delle arti visive all'interno della comunità culturale globale. Oltre ad introdurre il pubblico alle molteplici immaginazioni e voci che costituiscono gli artisti africani di oggi, il libro esplora il modo in cui la fotografia nasce dalla dialettica dei valori estetici tradizionali africani e dalle influenze occidentali. La fotografia africana contemporanea è emersa durante un periodo di significativi cambiamenti storici e sociali, compresi i movimenti di de-colonizzazione del secondo dopoguerra, la ricerca di un'identità nazionale indipendente e gli effetti della globalizzazione e della modernità.
