Raquel Bravo's first book, a work of post-memory sparked by the discovery, after her father's death, of his photographic archive and of his missionary work in Brazil before she was born. From the discrepancies between the images and her own account a negotiation of meanings unfolds, putting into play her family's founding fantasies and their representation in the family album, alongside the workings of power within colonialism, capitalism and the missions of the Catholic Church.
