Adjusting the Lens explores the role of photography in contemporary
renegotiations of the past and in Indigenous art activism. In moving
and powerful case studies, contributors analyze photographic practices
and heritage related to Indigenous communities in Canada, Australia,
Greenland, Norway, Sweden, Finland, and the United States. In the
process, they call attention to how Indigenous people are using old
photographs in new ways to empower themselves, revitalize community
identity, and decolonize the colonial record. Adjusting the Lens
presents original research in this emerging field in Indigenous
photography studies, juxtaposing the historical and the contemporary
across a range of geographically and culturally distinctive contexts.
The transnational perspective of this exciting collection challenges
old ways of thinking and meaningfully advances the crucially important
project of reclamation.
