Reviews

'If ever we ever needed a contemporary rejoinder to John Berger’s Ways of Seeing, this is the book. Timely and clearly written, To See in the Dark is a manifesto to solidarity, a foraging, salvaging and a way to unset alongside the opaque lives of Palestinians, who struggle under organized, genocidal state violence. Through engaging visual works of Palestinian and other artists, Mirzoeff leads us past the “colonial visual screen” and over the rubble, to see new solidarities that arise from associating with the oppressed by dissociating with systems of oppression whose surveillance, checkpoints, prisons, and drones appear in the “white sight” of genocide' -- Stephen Sheehi, co-author of <i>Psychoanalysis Under Occupation: Practicing Resistance in Palestine</i>
