| 520 | |a "To Be Nsala's Daughter revisits the photographic archive of Alice Seeley Harris and the visual projects of colonialism and anti-Blackness. Harris took over a thousand photographs in Congo during the reign of King Leopold II, mostly documenting the atrocities of his regime. While the publication of this violence played an important role in helping to liberate Congo from Belgian rule, Cherie Rivers Ndaliko argues that they reproduce colonial relations, particularly in their representations of Congolese people as suffering, bewildered, and inferior. The book's title comes from one of Harris's most well-known images, a posed photograph of a Congolese man, Nsala, considering the disembodied hand and foot of his daughter, violently removed from her body as punishment for his failure to deliver the requisite amount of rubber. Ndaliko sees both the act represented in the photograph and the photograph itself as sites of violence. The book documents Ndaliko's attempts to decompose these forms of violence, first, by understanding their logics and then, working with artists and community members in contemporary Congo, offering different ways of documenting and seeing."-- |c Provided by publisher. | ||
