How have image-makers of colour explored white societies, cultures and practices? This book takes as its case studies films, TV shows and photography that treat whiteness, in all its complexities, not as an unmarked and naturalised position from which to speak, but as an object of inquiry and sustained scrutiny. International in both authorship and critical scope, Black Image Making and Whiteness disrupts Eurocentric perspectives to ask: what happens when white people are seen as the Other?
Thomas Austin is Professor of Film Studies at the University of Sussex, UK. He is the editor of ReFocus: The Films of Steve McQueen (2023); and co-editor of Cinema of Crisis: Film and Contemporary Europe (2020).
