Glad Tidings of Benevolence
Published to coincide with the twentieth anniversary of the US-led invasion of Iraq, Glad Tidings of Benevolence brings together Moises Samanâs photographs taken in Iraq during this period and the following years, with documents and texts relating to the war. Exploring the constructionâthrough image and languageâof competing narratives of the war, the book represents the culmination of Samanâs twenty years of work across Iraq.
âMy photographs are not intended to represent an objective account of the Iraq war against which to compare the texts. Rather, the book grapples with my own role and power as a narrator â particularly one with access to foreign publications â and the biases and limitations inevitably embedded in my work.â
