A study of black identity. It is a story, told in pictures and words, of contemporary black artists exploring issues of their own identity in photography. With a historical introduction, the main part of the volume addresses contemporary work produced since 1985. Prior to this date there was no organized black photography movement to speak of and extremely few established black photographers in the commercial and arts worlds. Since 1985 a number of black photographic artists have emerged into public view through their address to identity issues. Stuart Hall introduces and contextualizes 160 photographs by approximately 40 black photographers who have produced bodies of work about racial, national, gender and sexual identity. The introduction provides a guide to terminology and the arguments, integrated with a brief history of black photographers' work on identity themes prior to 1985. A number of key photographers and historical movements are referred to and illustrated including, for example, the work of James Van der Zee and Roy DeCarava. The main part of the book focuses on work by photographers since 1985 worldwide, including Faisal Abdu Allah; Ajamu; Oladele Bamgboye; Chila Burman; Clement Cooper; Armet Francis; Joy Gregory; Sunil Gupta; Lyle Harris; Dave Lewis; Estaquio Neves; Eileen Perrier; Coreen Simpson; Robert Taylor; Maxine Walker; and others.

The South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) was set up to deal with the human rights violations of apartheid during the years 1960-1994. However, as Wilson shows, the TRC's restorative justice approach to healing the nation did not always serve the needs of communities at a local level. Based on extended anthropological fieldwork, this book illustrates the impact of the TRC in urban African communities in Johannesburg. While a religious constituency largely embraced the commission's religious-redemptive language of reconciliation, Wilson argues that the TRC had little effect on popular ideas of justice as retribution. This provocative study deepens our understanding of post-apartheid South Africa and the use of human rights discourse. It ends on a call for more cautious and realistic expectations about what human rights institutions can achieve in democratizing countries.
