1. 1. An Eye For The Tropics

   Tourism, Photography, and Framing the Caribbean Picturesque

   

   This book examines how photography and visual culture shaped metropolitan and local imaginings of the Caribbean as a picturesque, touristic space, tracing how images of landscapes, labor, and bodies were produced, circulated, and consumed from the colonial period into the era of mass tourism. Drawing on archival photographs, postcards, exhibitions, and travel literature, it shows how photographic practices and display strategies helped naturalize racialized, economic, and imperial hierarchies while also being contested by local actors, and it argues that these visual regimes played a central role in the making of modern Caribbean identities and tourist economies.
