Generalized Visual Resistance: Photobooks and Liberation Movements, edited by Catarina Boieiro and Raquel Schefer, revisits photobooks produced between the 1960s and 1980s in the context of anti-colonial liberation struggles and the early years of independence in Angola, Mozambique, Guinea-Bissau, and Cape Verde. Originating from a research project begun in 2018, the publication gathers an unprecedented visual archive of militant print culture - photobooks, posters, magazines, and artworks - revealing how images became tools of emancipation and political transformation. This trilingual volume (Portuguese, French, English) includes essays by the editors, Drew Thompson, and Lúcia Ramos Monteiro; a reprint of FRELIMO’s 1971 speech The Growth of a New Culture; and new interviews with Augusta Conchiglia and Moira Forjaz. Designed by Furtado Schefer, the book extends the dialogue between anti-colonial aesthetics and contemporary visual culture.
