Historically speaking, Ethiopians traveled to Germany at a surprisingly early time period. Examples include Abba Gorgoryos, the co-founder of Ethiopian Studies in Germany, who resided in Gotha in 1652, or former Oromo slaves in the early 19th century. Germans also migrated to Ethiopia, whose Ethiopian-German descendents sometimes played an important role in cultural exchange, politics, and diplomacy over generations. As a result of many years of research, this book presents historical images and texts documenting the history of German-Ethiopian relations. Capturing crucial historical moments, some of the research material in this book is previously unknown to historians.

What place do images hold among other kinds of historical evidence? In Eyewitnessing, Peter Burke reviews graphics, photographs, films, and other media from many countries and periods and examines their pragmatic uses. This profusely illustrated book surveys the opportunities and the challenges of using images to understand other times. In a thorough and compelling defense of the importance of the visual to history, Burke argues that images should not be considered mere reflections of their time and place, but rather extensions of the social contexts in which they were produced. The author describes and evaluates the methods by which art historians have traditionally analyzed images, and finds them insufficient to deal with the complexities of visual imagery. In developing a richer mode of visual interpretation, Burke devotes much attention to religious icons and narratives and political propaganda posters, caricatures, and maps. Eyewitnessing also addresses the economics of images--some, such as films, are commodities in themselves, and others are created to advertise other products. Concentrating on the representation of social groups, the author explores stereotypes as well as notions of foreignness and gender. In this wide-ranging, highly accessible volume, Burke helps us to understand the promise and the pitfalls of using visual evidence in the writing of history.

The Image and the Witness: Trauma, Memory and Visual Culture is a timely interdisciplinary collection of original essays concerning the ethical stakes of the image in our visually-saturated age. It explores the role of the material image in bearing witness to historical events and the visual representation of witnesses to collective trauma. In arguing for the agency of the image, this unique collection debates post-traumatic memory, documentary ethics, embodied vision, and the recycling of images. It discusses works by Chris Marker, Errol Morris, Derek Jarman, Doris Salcedo, Gerhard Richter, and Boris Mikhailov, along with images from popular culture, including websites and home movies.

If you are looking for a remarkable, pictorial history book of the highly distinguished 84th Division during World War II, there is no better source! This is a unique book full of over 300 WWII photographs taken by Maurice Miller while serving in Europe with General Alexander Russell Bolling's division, the Railsplitters. General Bolling assigned Mr. Miller to be the principle photographer to record history in the making. His photographs were widely published, helped boost morale and chronicled the Division's impressive accomplishments. After the War, Miller was able to keep a duplicate set of photo prints for himself, which very, very fortunately, after many years of preservation effort, are now available in this one amazing book. From generals to soldiers at the front, concentration camps, POWS, Russians at the Elbe River, and numerous post-war events, Mr. Miller covered the war from his perspective, one that very few ever saw. Mr. Miller photographed with a passion, zeal and a sense of duty.A story is told here, you might say a 'visual diary' of how Mr. Miller portrayed his experiences. Though a pricey book as books go, this is ALSO a fantastic collection of photographs you will see no where else in the world! For any collector, or those interested in the work of talented photographers or anyone with an interest in the 84th division, this book is well worth every penny. It truly is one of of a kind. It can not be emphasized enough how much effort in all aspects went into the creation of this book!Please feel free to contact the author for any requests whatsoever: Mark Miller [email protected]

In June 1964, Neshoba County, Mississippi, provided the setting for one of the most notorious crimes of the civil rights era: the Klan-orchestrated murder of three young voting-rights workers, James Chaney, Michael Schwerner, and Andrew Goodman. Captured on the road between the towns of Philadelphia and Meridian, the three were driven to a remote country crossroads, shot, and buried in an earthen dam, from which their bodies were recovered after a forty-four-day search. The crime transfixed the nation. As federal investigators and an aroused national press corps descended on Neshoba County, white Mississippians closed ranks, dismissing the men's disappearance as a "hoax" perpetrated by civil rights activists to pave the way for a federal "invasion" of the state. In this climate of furious conformity, only a handful of white Mississippians spoke out. Few did so more openly or courageously than Florence Mars. A fourth-generation Neshoban, Mars braved social ostracism and threats of violence to denounce the murders and decry the climate of fear and intimidation that had overtaken her community. She later recounted her experiences in Witness in Philadelphia, one of the classic memoirs of the civil rights era. Though few remember today, Mars was also a photographer. Shocked by the ferocity of white Mississippians' reaction to the Supreme Court's 1954 ruling against racial segregation, she bought a camera, built a homemade darkroom, and began to take pictures, determined to document a racial order she knew was dying. Mississippi Witness features over one hundred of these photographs, most taken in the decade between 1954 and 1964, almost all published here for the first time. While a few depict public events--Mars photographed the 1955 trial of the murderers of Emmett Till--most feature private moments, illuminating the separate and unequal worlds of black and white Mississippians in the final days of Jim Crow. Powerful and evocative, the photographs in Mississippi Witness testify to the abiding dignity of human life even in conditions of cruelty and deprivation, as well as to the singular vision of one of Mississippi's--and the nation's--most extraordinary photographers.
