About

Originally published in the 1970s, Photography/Politics: One has been long sought-after and long out of print. This striking new edition reproduces the full text and images in a contemporary format, designed to make its urgent relevance accessible to a new young audience.

The book asks 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?

 Featuring over 180 illustrations, the contemporary and historical role of photography in society is explored in 23 incisive chapters - exploring everything from images of women to montage and working-class photography, and remaining even more relevant today than it was 40 years ago.
