Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. MEISELAS, SUSAN: Kurdistan: In the Shadow of History with Chapter Commentaries by Martin van Bruinessen Random House 1997 HB First Edition ISBN 0679423893 First Edition Second printing FINE, very clean and bright, no marks, no writing, not remaindered, in FINE dust jacket, very minimal of wear to a few dust jacket edges, now protected in archival mylar. A large, heavy book, 340 pages. Additional postage required for expedited and international sales. Without a secure homeland, the Kurds have been unable to establish a national archive. Photographs and documents that record their history have been either obliterated or dispersed around the world. In "Kurdistan.: In the Shadow of History," Susan Meiselas has gathered an array of historic material, giving form to a collective memory and creating a vital archive from scattered fragments. Meiselas assembles images from Western sources and from the trunks and personal albums of Kurdish families. Oral histories, declassified government documents, newspaper clippings, and memoirs detail the West's encounters with the Kurds over the last century, through the perspective of travelers, missionaries, anthropologists, colonial administrators, and journalists, as well as the Kurds themselves. The result is an extraordinary sourcebook in which multiple voices offer varied interpretations of the history that the West has shared with the Kurds. In its layering of narratives- both textual and photographic-"Kurdistan: In the Shadow of History" breaks new ground, expanding our understanding of how images can be used as a medium for historical and cultural representation.
