The Cruel Radiance by Susie Linfield

The Cruel Radiance by Susie Linfield

Contending with critics from Walter Benjamin and Bertolt Brecht to Susan Sontag and the postmoderns - and analyzing photographs from such events as the Holocaust, China's Cultural Revolution, and recent terrorist acts, the author explores the complex connection between photojournalism and the rise of human rights ideals.

"This is a magnificent bookSusie Linfield has a good eye for the photographs and a good head for the politics. And she has the moral strength to look at these images of mutilation, death, and destruction, explain their value, and demand that we look at them, too." - Michael Walzer"
