A Photo Atlas of Latin America: 100 Images, One Continent's Hidden History

TL;DR Summary
Paranaguá's History of Latin America in 100 Photographs assembles a connected global narrative that moves beyond nation-centric histories to illuminate Indigenous roots, colonisation, slavery and revolutions, while highlighting often overlooked images that link past and present. The book treats photography as evidence that expands history beyond politics, showcases cultural and social histories, and cautions about the persisting legacies of violence and inequality in Latin America, including archives that remain unevenly digitised and the rise of AI-generated imagery.
