This skilfully-edited book highlights the centrality of visual practices in the administration, experience, narration and remembrance of occupations worldwide. In doing so, it shows how analyses of visual cultures of occupation can offer a much-needed framework for the comparative study of the history of occupations despite their inevitably-distinctive historical and ideological characteristics.
