Roger S. Berlind ’52 Professor of Humanities at Princeton University
In Image Matters (2012), Campt investigates the identity of the African Diaspora through photography, specifically focusing on black families in Germany and England in the early- to mid-twentieth century. Campt reevaluates everyday photography and family portraiture, placing a particular emphasis on family, gender, and sexuality. Using postcolonial and identity theory as well as an exploration of agency, she exposes intrinsic relationships in readings of photography.
Other Germans: Black Germans and the Politics of Race, Gender and Memory in the Third Reich, Originally published in 2004, Other Germans attends to the marginalization of Black Germans. According to Campt, Black Germans were largely forgotten about during the Third Reich. Within her book, Campt examines the experiences of these individuals. Her focus is heavily on race, while analyzing the inter-sectional relationship of being Black as well as German.
Image Matters: Archive, Photography, and The African Diaspora in Europe, Published in March 2012, Image Matters follows the appearance of Black Europeans through archives of family photography found in the mid-twentieth century. Campt looks at both snapshots and studio portraits as a means to explore how communities of Afro German were dispersed, othered, and assimilated into society.
Listening to Images, Campt's latest 2017 publication utilizes historical archives to uncover previously dismissed photography taken throughout the Black diaspora. Campt interacts with the photographs through sound, tuning into her senses and looking beyond the usual characteristics of a photograph.
