Reviews

Traces of the Unseen is an innovative study on the role of photography in revealing the violent underside of modernization in Brazil. Through a careful analysis of visual records about key events in the country's history--the Canudos massacre, the Amazonian rubber boom and its aftermath--the author shows how photographers including Claude Levi-Strauss, Roger Casement, and Mario de Andrade drew attention to forgotten communities, victims of Brazil's stride towards progress. A must-read for those interested in the iconography of Brazilian modernity. --Patricia Vieira, author of States of Grace: Utopia in Brazilian Culture
