Omschrijving
Consuming Identities restores the California gold rush to its rightful place as the first pivotal chapter in the American history of photography, and uncovers nineteenth-century San Francisco's position in the vanguard of modern visual culture.
Lippert has produced a thoroughly researched and convincing thesis about the ways San Franciscans -- both native and nascent -- mediated their identities through the reproduced image. Its scope is admirably broad, covering the variegated multiplicities of multicultural and multivalent nineteenth-century American immigrant society ... valuable contribution to the ongoing study of the artifacts of cultural exchange and their significance in how we understand and shape our own identities.
Amy DeFalco Lippert is an Assistant Professor of American History and the College at the University of Chicago. Her research and teaching focus on the cultural and social history of the United States in the 19th century, particularly Americans' mass production, consumption, and interaction with visual imagery and problems of perception.
