In Hawai?i beginning in 1866, men, women, and children suspected of having leprosy were removed from their families. Most were sentenced over the next century to lifelong exile at an isolated settlement. Thousands of photographs taken of their skin provided forceful, if conflicting, evidence of disease and disability for colonial health agents. And yet among these exiled people, a competing knowledge system of kinship and collectivity emerged during their incarceration. This book shows how they pieced together their own intimate archives of care and companionship through unanticipated adaptations of photography.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Preface: Encountering the Photographs\u003cbr\u003e Note on Language\u003cbr\u003e Chronology of Significant Events\u003cbr\u003e Map of Hawaiian Islands\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Introduction: An Archive of Skin, An Archive of Kin \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 1 • Ocular Experiments and Unruly Technologies of the Body\u003cbr\u003e 2 • A Criminal Archive of Skin\u003cbr\u003e 3 • Dressing the Body: Laundry and the Intimacy of Care\u003cbr\u003e 4 • Dreaming in Pictures: Queer Kinship and Subaltern\u003cbr\u003e     Family Albums\u003cbr\u003e Epilogue: Healing Encounters at the Settlement\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgments\u003cbr\u003e Notes\u003cbr\u003e Bibliography\u003cbr\u003e Index","brand":"University of California Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49402934002007,"sku":"9780520343856","price":23.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780520343856.jpg?v=1730481894","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/an-archive-of-skin-an-archive-of-kin-9780520343856","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
