Industry Reviews "Willis introduces many new voices into the dialogue which provide welcome critical insight and important, thought-provoking analysis of the African American image in American visual culture. Picturing Us is an essential text for anyone interested in the perception and reception of images as we enter the twenty-first century." Kellie Jones
"Picturing Us fills a gaping hole in the study of humanity and how we see ourselves through photography. This is an important book and certainly welcome in the intellectual studies of both photography and African American Culture." Jeanne Moutoussamy-Ashe
