Focusing on fine art and documentary photography, this book provides a racially diverse and culturally inclusive version of photography history and its contemporary manifestations.

Who’s documenting the evolution of photography as it is happening now from an inclusive, transnational perspective? This is the challenge this book aims to address. The collection is the print manifestation of the Dodge and Burn art photography blog actively published from 2007 to 2018, including a selection of 35 interviews with photographers and art professionals from underrepresented communities—those of African, Asian, Latinx/é and Native American heritage. It captures fascinating accounts of artists of color and the broad range of their challenges and successes: aspirations, photo series and photobooks, earning a living, discrimination, photography education, photographic practice, socio-political conversations, and more.

Decolonization and Diversity in Contemporary Photography is a powerful collection that celebrates and exhibits the talents of underrepresented artists. It is essential reading for both photography students and aspiring photographers.
