Wondrous Difference

Editorial Reviews
Review

"A significant contribution to knowledge about methods of recording and presenting visual culture of non-Western peoples in the late 19th and early 20th centuries." -- Choice

" Wondrous Difference will make an excellent... textbook for advanced undergraduate or graduate courses in both visual anthropology and the history of anthropology." -- Deborah Poole, Current Anthropology

Review

"With originality and depth of research, Wondrous Difference supplies the missing prehistory of the ethnographic documentary. The story this book tells is a dynamic one, of interest to anyone involved with cultural history, particularly anthropologists and film historians." -- Tom Gunning, University of Chicago
