Following WWII, photographers started to take a more broad humanist approach to their work. It was the
beginning of what would eventually be termed “identity politics” because photographers chose topics that dealt specifically with distinctive aspects of particular cultures.

• The exhibition is “essentially a picture story to support a concept; an editorial achievement for Steichen, rather than an exhibition of photography.” (NY Times)
• Steichen didn’t treat the photographs as individual works but as pieces of a larger statement.
• The show was enthusiastically received by the public, who were ready to affirm the goodness of mankind.
• The show travelled to over 30 countries and was seen by 9 million people.

Tension between the United States and Russia after WW II: the Cold War
• Western leaders began to worry that the spread of communism threatened democracy and capitalism everywhere.
• Communism needed to be “contained” - by diplomacy, by threats or by force. This idea shaped American foreign and domestic policy for decades.
• Many people in the United States worried that communists (“subversives”) could destroy American society from the outside.
• Between 1945-52, Congress held hearings designed to put an end to “un-American activities” in the federal government, public schools and even in Hollywood.
• Anti Communist “Red Scare” of the 1950s.

Central & South America
• In the postwar period, many people living in Central and South America resented the influence of the United States - culturally, politically, economically.
• They wanted to forge a distinctive Latin American identity in the arts and photography.
• Their ideology changed - from before WWII, when they looked at the European experiments in photography (Surrealism/New Vision) - to a wide range of photographic practices, notably photojournalism.

“As a supporter of the ideals for which Che Guevara died, I am not averse
to its reproduction by those who wish to propagate his memory and the
cause of social justice throughout the world, but am categorically against
the exploitation of Che’s image for the promotion of products such as
alcohol, or for any purpose that denigrates the reputation of Che.”

The First Colloquium of Latin American Photography
• Helped to internationalize Latin American photography.
• Led to a series of international exhibitions that helped to bring Latin American photography to a global audience for the first time.

Photography in Mexico
• Subject matter was local: ordinary urban scenes, as well as traditional religious practices among rural people.
• Some photographers such as Nacho Lopez felt that photojournalism was the most expressive form of photography. It allowed him to work within the social context - the drama of every day life.
