Description
In the 1950s, young women posed in a convertible roaring through a tropical landscape. A university student dodges police batons to snap a picture at a political demonstration in 1998. This title argues that the photographic practices such as these have played a crucial role in the making of modern national subjects in postcolonial Java.
