Zealy discovered at the museum in 1976. 504 Includes bibliographical references (pages 449-464) and index. 520 "To Make Their Own Way in the World is a profound consideration of some of the most challenging images in the early history of photography. The fifteen daguerreotypes-made in 1850 by photographer Joseph T. Zealy portray Alfred, Delia, Drana, Fassena, Jack, Jem, and Renty, men and women of African descent who were enslaved in South Carolina. Since 1976, when the daguerreotypes were rediscovered at Harvard University's Peabody Museum, the photographs have been the subject of intense and widespread study. To Make Their Own Way in the World features essays by prominent scholars who explore topics ranging from the photographs' historical context and the "science" of race to the ways in which photography created a visual narrative of slavery and its effects. Multidisciplinary, deeply collaborative, and with more than two hundred illustrations, including new photography by contemporary artist Carrie Mae Weems, this book frames the Zealy daguerreotypes as works of urgent engagement"-- |cProvided by publisher. 650 0 Photography|xSocial aspects|zUnited States|xHistory|y19th century|vCongresses. 650 0 Photography in ethnology|xHistory|y19th century |vCongresses. 650 0 Racism in anthropology|zUnited States|xHistory|y19th century|vCongresses. 650 0 Monogenism and polygenism|vCongresses. 650 0 African Americans|zSouthern States|xSocial conditions |y19th century|vCongresses. 700 1 Barbash, Ilisa,|d1959-|eeditor. 700 1 Rogers, Molly,|d1967-|eeditor. 700 1 Willis, Deborah,|d1948-|eeditor. 700 1 Gates, Henry Louis,|cJr.,|eother. 700 12 Zealy, Joseph T.,|d1812-1893.|tPhotographs.|kSelections. 710 2 Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology,|ehost institution. 710 2 Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study,|ehost institution.
