Ideal for readers interested in arts and culture, especially those keen on photography, book history, and cultural studies.
This volume challenges the art-market definition of the photobook as a photographer's book, proposing instead to show how books and photos come together as collective cultural productions. The chapters revisit canonical works and delve into institutional, digital and unrealised projects, illegal practices, collectives and the poetic impulse.

Description
This volume sets out to challenge and ultimately broaden the category of the 'photobook'. It critiques the popular art-market definition of the photobook as simply a photographer's book, proposing instead to show how books and photos come together as collective cultural productions.
Focusing on North American, British and French photobooks from 1920 to the present, the chapters revisit canonical works by Claudia Andujar and George Love, Mohamed Bourouissa, Walker Evans, Susan Meiselas and Roland Penrose while also delving into institutional, digital and unrealised projects, illegal practices, DIY communities and the poetic impulse.
They throw new light on the way that gendered, racial or colonial assumptions are resisted. Taken as a whole, the volume provides a better understanding of how the meaning of a photobook is collectively produced both inside and outside the art market.
