Trade Review
“Filtering Histories is insightful and innovative in both its approach and what it says about photography in Mozambique. The author demonstrates a thorough engagement with Mozambican history and historiography, and an in-depth knowledge of the current scholarship on African photography and visuality.”
—Pamila Gupta, WiSER, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa
