In the aftermath of events in Israel and Gaza following October 7, 2023, the entire world, including the U.S., has witnessed a wave of protests unlike anything since the summer of 2020 after George Floyd was killed by police. Photo images of these recent protests have appeared in the major media but are even more pervasive in the various platforms of social media, notably Instagram, X (Twitter), and Facebook. Although such images are routinely included in the reportage about these events, protest as a genre of photography seems to be a neglected area of discussion among photographers and scholars of visual culture.1
