Descripción
Sumario:During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, American writers and anthropologists believed that evolutionary forces had pushed the world's primitive races to the brink of extinction. They also believed that films, photographs, and phonograph recordings were specially suited to capture and preserve primitive life before it disappeared forever. Drawing extensively on seldom-seen archival sources, the book considers how the ethnographic project of racial documentation shaped audiovisual innovation, experimentation, and use in turn-of-the-century America.
