"This book is devoted to the imporant holdings of the Eliot Elisofon Photographic Archives, a department of the National Museum of African Art and a unique repository with more than 280,000 historical and contemporary images from all over Africa." "Using case studies - among them the examination of the influential work of Polish photographer Casimir Zagourski (1883-1944) - In and Out of Focus raises important issues about photographic practice in Africa, the distribution of images, the circulation of ideas in Europe and the United States and African responses to photography. This book advances the scholarly discourse on colonial/anthropological photography and contributes to a better understanding of photography in Africa."--Jacket.
