Preface: The Black book -- Polemics -- A little history of photography criticism; or, Why do photography critics hate photography? -- Photojournalism and human rights: the calamity of the Kodak -- Places -- Warsaw, Łódź, Auschwitz: in the waiting room of death -- China: from Malraux's dignity to the Red Guards' shame -- Sierra Leone: beyond the sorrow and the pity -- Abu Ghraib and the jihad: the dance of civilizations -- People -- Robert Capa: the optimist -- James Nachtwey: the catastrophist -- Gilles Peress: the skeptic
Susie Linfield addresses the issue of whether photographs depicting past scenes of violence and cruelty are voyeuristic, arguing that if we do not look and understand that we are seeing at people, rather than depersonalised acts of inhumanity, our hopes of curbing political violence today are probably limited
