520 |a The emergence of newly independent African nations onto the world stage in the mid-twentieth century precipitated a contest for influence among Cold War superpowers. During this time the United States mounted a campaign of photographic diplomacy, underpinned by a faith in the medium to cross cultural boundaries. This volume chronicles this careful scriptingof images and picture stories and elucidates the cultural and pedagogical work that photography was expected to perform as it was inserted into the visual culture of African cities through magazines, posters, pamphlets, and window displays. 
520 |a Drawing on extensive research in the archives of the United States Information Agency (USIA) and concentrating on the period from the mid-1950s through to the late 1960s, Darren Newbury traces the role of photography played in the United States’ appeal to Africa. He describes how the act of photographing the political, cultural, and educational visits Africans made to the United States created a space for the imagination of international cooperation and friendship. Newbury also pays close attention to the ways in which the American government presented the civil rights struggle as an example of democracy in action and explores the world of inetgration and racial coexistence that US officials attempted to depict.
