The first detailed study of what filmic images can tell us about iconic
photographs, No Power Without an Image reveals the multifaceted
connections between seven celebrated photographs of political struggles,
taken between 1936 and 1968, and cinema in all its forms. Moving from
the 'paper cinema' of magazines via newsreels and film journals, to
documentary, fiction and experimental films, this fascinating book draws
on original archival research and multidisciplinary icon theory to
explore new ways of thinking about the confluence of still and moving
images.
