The essays and excerpts focus on the paintings, maps, geographical surveys, postcards, photographs, and other media that comprise the visual milieu of colonization, struggles for decolonization, and the lingering effects of empire. Taken together, they demonstrate that an appreciation of the role of visual experience is necessary for understanding the functioning of hegemonic imperial power and the ways that the colonized subjects spoke, and looked, back at their imperial rulers. \u003ci\u003eEmpires of Vision\u003c\/i\u003e also makes a vital point about the complexity of image culture in the modern world: We must comprehend how regimes of visuality emerged globally, not only in the metropole but also in relation to the putative margins of a world that increasingly came to question the very distinction between center and periphery.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eContributors\u003c\/i\u003e.
