Books by Mark Rice

Now designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Machu Picchu is the focus of Peru's tourism economy. Mark Rice's history of Machu Picchu in the twentieth century - from its "discovery" to today's travel boom - reveals how Machu Picchu was transformed into both a global travel destination and a powerful symbol of the Peruvian nation.

Informed by contemporary theories of colonial photography and the history of US imperialism, Dean Worcester's Fantasy Islands is narrative in its approach, tracing Worcester's emergence both as a colonial administrator and a photographer and analysing the intersections between his personal desires and his political agenda as they shaped his photography in the Philippines.
