N2  - Smith analyzes how W. E. B. Du Bois used photography—particularly in his 1900 Paris Exposition project—to challenge racist stereotypes and reframe African American identity within visual culture. She shows how Du Bois strategically employed portraits and curated images to present dignity, modernity, and intellectual achievement, positioning photography as a tool for political struggle and cultural self-definition. The book highlights the broader stakes of visual representation in shaping ideas of race and belonging in American and global contexts
