"Post-industrial Montreal has engendered countless photographic representations of itself, which have in turn shaped the city's sense of its own changing urbanity. The delightful essays in Photogenic Montreal synthesize the competing activist and archival impulses behind the photographic practices they explore. With its city-centric approach, the volume makes an important, Montreal-focused contribution to the study of architecture, photography, and the city." Peter Sealy, University of Toronto

"Photogenic Montreal is remarkable for its novelty of theoretical approach, meticulous argumentation, and erudition. Circulating amidst this scholarship are the no less remarkable voices of photographers and artists who provide informed and unnostalgic perspectives and new insights into works with historical importance, however recently they may have been created. With its careful selection and beautiful reproduction of illustrations, the book is a must-read for scholars, students, and all inquiring minds." Lise Lamarche, Université de Montréal
