Throughout the book, Snowdon practices an ethics of close reading that rejects critical habits of regarding images with suspicion. The People Are Not an Image charts hopeful trajectories for several areas of inquiry, from the politics of protest media and self-representation to networked distribution, operational images, and the digital remaking of subjectivity. Yet Snowdon's ultimate project is more ambitious-to reshape his readers' political imaginaries. -- Sasha Crawford-Holland * Critical Inquiry * Peter Snowdon provides a radical philosophical approach to the daily videos produced by the ordinary people of the Arab spring -- Habib A. Moghimi * Visual Studies * The People Are Not an Image has significance for scholars but will also find wider audience appeal with, for example, digital media activists, filmmakers, and human rights advocates. It will be especially relevant to digital media and communication scholars and students with an interest in activism, social movements, and visual politics. -- Kelly Lewis * E-International Relations * This book makes a much-needed intervention in media studies in the Arab regions since 2011, and is a crucial read for all students of media and film studies. -- Zaher Omareen * Screen *
