Book Synopsis
In 1899 an American could open a newspaper and find outrageous images. This title argues that these kinds of hyperbolic accounts were just one element of the visual and material culture that played an integral role in debates about empire in late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century America.

Trade Review
"Brody finds that visual media played a major role in shaping Americans' perceptions of the Philippines, indeed, that the public eye focused on the events and ideas that lent themselves to sensational visual treatment. A creative work of interdisciplinary scholarship, Visualizing American Empire reframes our understanding of this important topic." - Kristin Hoganson, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign"
