Summary "Asking what does foreign occupation look like and how does occupation shape visual expression and cultures, this edited collection explores how the occupied and occupiers have responded to their circumstances through visual culture. With specific cases of foreign occupation from around the world and across the 20th century, the chapters discuss the similarities, links and points of contact which bring disparate examples of occupation into dialogue with one another. The intention is to illustrate how an emphasis on 'the visual' can help inform our understanding of occupation more broadly"-- Provided by publisher.
