• The advent of photography revolutionized perception, making visible what was once impossible to see with the human eye. In At the Edge of Sight, Shawn Michelle Smith engages these dynamics of seeing and not seeing, focusing attention as much on absence as presence, on the invisible as the visible. Exploring the limits of photography and vision, she asks: What fails to register photographically, and what remains beyond the frame? What is hidden by design, and what is obscured by cultural blindness? Smith studies manifestations of photography’s brush with the unseen in her own photographic work and across the wide-ranging images of early American photographers, including F. Holland Day, Eadweard Muybridge, Andrew J. Russell, Chansonetta Stanley Emmons, and Augustus Washington. She concludes by showing how concerns raised in the nineteenth century remain pertinent today in the photographs of Abu Ghraib. Ultimately, Smith explores the capacity of photography to reveal what remains beyond the edge of sight. –Page 4 of cover.

• The exhibition Nine Months in America: an ethnocentric tour by Wing Young Huie premiered at the Minnesota Museum of American Art, St. Paul, April 17-August 1, 2004. This book is an extension of the exhibition, which included more than one hundred photographs and videotaped interviews with many of the people Wing photographed. I was the cocurator of the exhibition –Foreword
• In search of contemporary Asian America, celebrated photographer Wing Young Huie – the only member of his family not born in China – traveled with his wife, Tara, through nearly forty states and Canada to explore and document the funny, touching, and sometimes strange intersection of Asian American and American cultures. Looking for Asian America illustrates their rich and surprising journey across the United States. Huie is keenly aware of his own Midwestern roots and perspective, and through his eyes we witness such images as a Vietnamese Elvis, Miss Congeniality on her cell phone in San Francisco’s Chinatown, a Hmong street sign in rural North Carolina, a meditating Falun Gong protestor in Washington, D.C., a bubble tea Valley Girl, and a Chinese theme park in Orlando. Huie’s camera captures ABCs (American-born Chinese), FOBs (fresh off the boat), and a self-described redneck Chinese restaurant owner near the Okefenokee Swamp. Taken together, the photographs reveal a complex portrait of the U.S. cultural landscape, and their dignified elegance invites a closer, deeper look. Accompanied by the personal reflections of both Wing and Tara Huie, the nearly one hundred spectacular photographs tell a story that both mirrors and contradicts stereotypes of Asian Americans, ultimately questioning what it means to be ethnic and American in the twenty-first century. –BOOK JACKET.
