Description
A journey through the United Fruit Companyâ?Ts photo archive and its documentation of corporate expansion into the Caribbean. The establishment of the United Fruit Company as a global political agent with its banana plantations was met with considerable resistance. Now the companyâ?Ts photographic records are the focal point of Archive Matter as it examines photographyâ?Ts historical and political impact through the argument that this overlooked, but important, archive made capitalist expansion into the Caribbean possible. Author Liliana GA3mez examines the images from within their â?ooptical unconsciousâ?? and via the archiveâ?Ts silences and omissions. The implication of these silences, GA3mez argues, is the attempt to conceal the violence embedded within the realities of the plantationsâ?T daily operations and corporate efforts to â?omodernizeâ?? the Caribbean.
