Photography/Politics: One
'A seminal work of history and theory'

'A welcome reminder of the need to ask hard questions of a medium we too often take for granted as natural and truthful... the concerns of writers and artists in the late 1970s were not so distant from our own.'

Published over 40 years ago, Photography/Politics: One has been long sought-after and long out of print. This new edition reproduces the full text, images and advertisements, plus new updates from some of the original authors, in a contemporary format, and introduces its contemporary importance and relevance to a new audience.
The book poses two simple, but far-reaching, questions: How does photography contribute to the defence of the old order? And how may it be used to help hasten the arrival of the new?
There follows 23 chapters of perceptive and incisive analysis of the contemporary and historical role of photography in society which remain even more relevant today than they were 40 years ago.
