Notes:: An essay is presented on tropicalized and touristic imagery in colonial photographs and its impact on black histories. It offers critiques on current uses of old touristic postcards as it offers unproblematic historical evidence. It examines the ways in which black inhabitants resisted and critiqued this tropicalization of the islands with an account on how a swimming pool became a site of political protest against tourism's demand for a picturesque and disciplined black population.
