The text on the bottom of the print says, “We’re More than a beach. We’re a Country.” This print made me uncomfortable, not only because it’s held by the MoMA in New York, but also because it features women in bathing suits — one in the nude — clearly laying on the beach. The words at the bottom of the print do little to deter from the imaging of the women. I have spoken thoroughly about the gendered aspects of the Tourism Industry, and how women’s bodies are made available to be penetrated and explored, therefore; for this primary source I will go directly to Dennis-Benn’s novel to consider the theoretical work it does to dismantle the authority and prevalence of this kind of images.
