Summary, Etc.  

요약This dissertation adds to histories of U.S. empire, gender, and race by more fully addressing white women's role in sustaining colonial power through their production of an imperial visual culture in the 1920s and 1930s. It investigates white women photographers, mapmakers, monument makers, filmmakers, and travel writers-or, visual culture producers- across different geographical sites of U.S. empire in the Pacific, Caribbean, and North American continent. It explores how white women's production of the visual materials of empire, which would be consumed by Americans across the country, helped build the infrastructure of colonial power, reconstruct white womanhood, and teach white Americans how to understand U.S. empire. Each chapter, dedicated to a different medium of visual culture and a different site of empire, reveals how white women were creators of both an imperial visual culture and white imperial femininity.This dissertation looks at white women visual producers during a key moment in the history of U.S. empire-they worked at the end of a period in which Americans simultaneously debated, contested, and supported U.S. imperial conquest, and when white women could no longer work as reformers or in assimilationist programs as effectively. The women in this dissertation turned instead to visual culture and the growing tourism industry, promising fellow white women that they could achieve independence and liberation by experiencing the commodified, tourist-ready version of the places in which they worked. By making empire legible to Americans and advertising geographic sites of empire as ready for consumption through tourism, white women visual producers participated in the important work of ordering the world according to capitalist, racialized, gendered, and colonialist hierarchies. Although the white women studied often declared they had unilateral control over their artistic productions and attempted to present a streamlined narrative of order in their creations, the subjects of their visual work did not always work with their narratives.
