Carter's carefully reasoned monograph examines both formal qualities of composition and the historical contexts of the production and display of documentary photographs. In Rhetorical Exposures, Carter explores Jacob Riis's heart-rending photos of Manhattan's poor in late nineteenth-century New York, the iconic images of tenant farmers in west Alabama from James Agee and Walker Evans's Let Us Now Praise Famous Men, T

Rizzoli We Protest Fighting for What We Believe in
Book SynopsisA call to action--inspiring citizens to stand up and fight for social justice in our nation.In the last few years we have seen a wave of activism wash across our nation and inspire unprecedented protest and civic engagement. People came together in record-breaking numbers, outspoken and persistent. With the winds of resistance at their backs, people linked arms and set out to defend our freedoms and each other.Photojournalist Tish Lampert captures the spirit of the heroes and ordinary citizens on their activist journey to defend their American values during the most conflicted era in our recent history. The book charts the chronology of social-change movements that have dominated the headlines over the past several years: the fight for women's rights and gender equality, immigration rights, civil liberties, gun violence, and the environment. Lampert takes us to the front lines of activism, where she has documented each protest and their respective leaders, as welTrade Review"We Protest: Fighting For What We Believe In is a powerful reminder that our necessary and continued growth as a people relies on the hope, strength, and courage of a single voice that when echoed and heralded by another and another and another, ignites the spirit of Americanism and creates change." —Producer and Actor, Michael Douglas“Tish Lampert’s We Protest inspires. Its subtitle is FIGHTING FOR WHAT WE BELIEVE IN, and the inspiring pictures of caring faces coupled with insightful words express a beautiful spirit behind the "fight.". Enrique Morones statement, "Love is an action, not just a word," captures aptly the message of this unique book which is an invitation to join together for justice, peace, and, for the boldest word of all, for love. “ --Jonathan Granoff, President Global Security Institute "America was founded on protest. Protest is literally part of our DNA, and in a moment when justice, freedom and democracy themselves are imperiled, remembering “the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances” seems more important now than at any time in the last 50 years. Tish Lampert has captured what “fighting for what we believe in” in America looks like, in her timeless, yet eminently timely and beautiful book, “We Protest.” --Ali Velshi - MSNBC, Journalist, Anchor and Producer "We Protest..." shows us the power of community and ensures that those who have been frontline peace and justice builders will inspire us in the present and shape future commitments with their eloquent, multifaceted, and brave truths. There is nothing more important. These insightful and beautiful images tear the apathy away and compel us to stretch upward and be better upstanders. Maya Soetoro- Ng ( Founder and COO of The Peace Studio and Barack Obama's sister ) “One of the things that is great about this book is that it carries you along in a universe of hope and commitment to the highest ideals of the nation. The photographs are so powerful, the faces are so moving. It’s a Remarkable history of this time, something that you will keep forever and show your children and grandchildren down to generations. It really crystalizes the moment.” –Pulitzer Prize winning journalist and author David Shipler

University of Arkansas Press A Photographer of Note: Arkansas Artist Geleve
Book Synopsis In a selection of more than one hundred black and white images taken over a period of sixty years, this book bears witness to the life of a remarkable photographer and to small-town African American life in the middle of the twentieth century. Geleve Grice was born and raised near Pine Bluff, and he has documented the ordinary life of his community: parades, graduations, weddings, club events, and whatever else brought people together. In the process he has created a remarkable historical portrait of an African American community. Through his lens we glimpse the daily patterns of segregated Pine Bluff, and we also participate in the excitement of greeting extraordinary visitors. Martin Luther King Jr., Mary McLeod Bethune, Harry S. Truman, and others all came through town. Folklorist Robert Cochran worked with Grice to select these photographs from the thousands he has taken across a lifetime. They organized the work chronologically, reflecting Grice's early years in small-town Arkansas, his travel as a serviceman in World War II, and his long career in Pine Bluff. Cochran's accompanying chapters link Grice to the great tradition of American community photographers. He also shows how work for pay-at the Arkansas Agricultural, Mechanical and Normal College in Pine Bluff; at the Arkansas State Press daily newspaper; through his own studio-shaped Grice's work. Cochran shows that Grice not only made his living taking photographs for jobs, but that he also made his own life by making photographs for himself-and now for history.Trade ReviewA great book! These are wonderful images embedded in a very important story. At last we see, vividly and intimately, a complex world that has for too long remained obscured. Grice's images and Cochran's text transform and deepen our vision." —Tom Rankin, executive director of the Center for Documentary Studies at Duke University"Striking images reveal celebrities and ordinary folks at moments of celebration and of sadness. They show scenes of black life in the South that are too seldom seen, of people living lives of great dignity even amidst social burdens. Bob Cochran's narrative is a triumph of documentary work. A splendid achievement!" —Charles Reagan Wilson, editor of Encyclopedia of Southern Culture and director of the Center for the Study of Southern Culture at the University of Mississippi

George F. Thompson Florida’S Changing Waters: A Beautiful World in
Book SynopsisLynne Buchanan began photographing Florida’s inland waters to create artistic records of her connection with those waters and to learn lessons from being in the present moment and aligning with the flow of life. The more time she spent photographing waterways in her native Florida, the more she noticed what was being damaged and lost due to human impact. She resolved to draw attention to the situation through her photography and to work with water-quality and environmental advocates, from members of the Water-keeper Alliance to Native American citizens fighting to preserve the integrity of their ancestral lands and drinking water. The result is Changing Waters, which not only showcases the beauty, diversity, and complexity of Florida’s waters, but also documents the negative effects of agricultural and industrial pollution, a growing population with its urban growth and land development, and climate change on Florida’s inland and coastal waters and springs. Though her work is place specific, the book reveals the interconnected and global nature of environmental problems. Indeed, Florida’s fragile springs, wetlands, rivers, and coastal waters can be considered a tragic and powerful example of what is happening to aquatic systems else-where in the nation and world as a result of unchecked human action. Buchanan’s photographs invite viewers to consider their personal relationship to water and en-courage better stewardship of this vital––and finite––resource. They are also a call to action to find more effective ways to preserve these waterways for both their natural beauty and essential role in our survival.

Apollo Publishers The Bonds We Share: Images of Humanity, 40 Years
Book SynopsisIn extraordinary, life-affirming photos taken around the world—from developing villages to urban centers—over the last 40 years, a photographer makes the bold case that what unites us is more powerful than the borders that divide us. A portion of the proceeds for The Bonds We Share will benefit Doctors Without Borders. Hailed as “photography's new conscience,” photographer and psychiatrist Dr. Glenn Losack has spent a lifetime traveling the world, determined to extend healing, hope, and compassion. With a camera in hand, he goes places that tourists rarely visit, including slums, alleys, and dark streets. He's seen struggle, but he's also seen our shared humanity: families playing together, laborers working, the devout praying to their gods. Dr. Losack has found resilience, joy, passion, and celebration in communities the world over, even in places plagued with corrupt government, poor infrastructure, and disease. The 240 captivating photos in The Bonds We Share, taken in India, the Dominican Republic, Bangladesh, Cambodia, Morocco, Peru, Tunisia, Sri Lanka, Egypt, the United States, Eastern Europe, and elsewhere, serve as a remarkable retrospective of Dr. Losack's work and reveal an essential truth: we may come from very different cultures, far-ranging geographic corners, belief systems, and economic circumstances, but we all share the same desire to work hard, raise families, and lead fulfilling lives. In this spectacular volume, Dr. Losack interrogates timely notions of difference and portrays the commonality of people from different cultures around the globe.Trade Review“We may be separated by oceans, languages, and cultures, but we are all connected. Dr. Glenn Losack’s beautiful pictorial The Bonds We Share reminds us of our universal connection to one another through a series of stunning, personal, and often emotional images. Dr. Losack reminds us that we have so much more that joins us rather than separates us. In these faces from distant lands we can see much of ourselves. This is a joyful, celebratory collection.” —Jim Moret, author of The Last Day of My Life and chief correspondent of Inside Edition“Dr. Losack’s unforgettable photography in The Bonds We Share is exquisite and full of amazing, touching images which drive home the unquestionably powerful theme that people worldwide share a commonality in their daily lives. We all want a peaceful planet and a better, more meaningful future for our children. You will love this beautiful book and its profound, universal message.” —Rita Cosby, Emmy-winning journalist and best-selling author of Quiet Hero: Secret’s from My Father’s Past“I feel like I've just taken a trip around the world through Glenn's photographs. I am struck by the way he captures a world of different people in different places, illustrating that we are truly all the same. He shows us the amazing colors of life.” —May Pang, artist, former music executive, and author of Loving John and Instamatic Karma: Photos of John Lennon“Dr. Losack’s powerful photographs are not only stunning and poignant, but they also manage to reach deep into the soul and collective unconscious of his audience. He reminds us why we are here: to love, learn, and discover the beauty in one another. These are the bonds we all share and that show that we are all connected in this world.” —Dr. Jeff Gardere, psychologist, author, and contributor to Fox, NBC, MSNBC, and CNN“Glenn Losack has an unprecedented ability to peer into pain and find soul and beauty. His photography profoundly gives a voice to those who have no microphone.” —Alice Feiring, James Beard award-winning wine and travel writer and author of Naked Wine, For the Love of Wine, and Natural Wine for the People“A powerful and necessary message for our times, Dr. Losack’s work is massive, exquisite, and covers so many of life’s meaningful and evocative themes. He captures foreign cultures with an emotive awareness, and quite successfully involves his audience in this endeavor. Every photograph is depicted with care and grace.” —Dr. Robi Ludwig, author, psychotherapist, and TV personality“We have all heard the phrase, ‘a picture is worth a thousand words,’ and the photographs in The Bonds We Share are absolutely breathtaking. Dr. Losack has certainly captured what makes us all commonly bonded in this powerful and optimistic book and shows that no matter who we are or where we’re from, we are more similar than different.” —Joan Lunden, award-winning journalist, best-selling author, former cohost of ABC’s Good Morning America, and host of PBS’s Second Opinion with Joan Lunden“A timely pictorial, The Bonds We Share shines a bright light on our innate similarities.” —Preferred Health magazine“This is most definitely the work of a master of the stunning snapshot.” —F-Stop Magazine“Losack finds the true colors of every population he visits, and transforms their daily struggles into a visual message of hope and compassion. An inspiring and thought-provoking addition to your photo library.” —Amex EssentialsTable of ContentsPreface 1: Devotion 2: Inheritance 3: Journey 4: Pastime 5: Connection 6: Resilience 7: Community

Hearst Home Books Lift Every Voice: A Celebration of Black Lives
Book Synopsis“When we lift every voice, we forge a deep and enduring connection to the past—and carve a tunnel of hope to a brighter future for us all.” -Oprah Winfrey “This book, above all else, is a reminder of where we have been and the debt we owe to those who came before. These Americans have not passed the torch, but are clasping it with us, urging us to continue the work alongside them,”-Nikole Hannah-Jones More than 50 elders share their remarkable experiences of being Black in America in a collection of powerful photographs and interviews For so long, too many stories that reveal what it means and feels like to be Black in America have been overlooked outside Black communities. After these long years of racial reckonings and nascent awakenings, Lift Every Voice presents interviews with the oldest generation of Black Americans about their lives, their experiences, and the wisdom that can carry all of us to a better future. The 54 fascinating individuals—civil rights activists, hometown heroes, celebrities, and many others—include: • Andre de Shields, an actor, director, and choreographer who discusses the essential values and lessons his parents taught him • Clarice Freeman, an educator and community leader in Houston, Texas who speaks about how to live a long and fulfilling life • Fred Gray, a civil rights lawyer who represented Rosa Parks and Claudette Colvin, also featured in the book, against disorderly conduct charges for their refusal to give up their bus seats to white passengers • Patti LaBelle a singer/songwriter who shares her thoughts on aging and her career as an internationally celebrated powerhouse singer • Faye Wattleton, a reproductive rights activist and the first African American and youngest president of Planned Parenthood who recounts her experience as a nurse and midwife in the 1960s The insightful interviews were conducted by a brilliant team, many of whom are rising Black journalists from historically Black colleges and universities, and the portraits were shot by a talented group of next generation Black photographers. Lift Every Voice is named after the James Weldon Johnson poem and hymn "Lift Every Voice and Sing," which is often referred to as the "Black national anthem." Lift Every Voice is both a testament to the strength of the elders’ stories and a triumphant beginning for a new generation of Black journalists and photographers.Trade Review“The voices featured in the book share stories of discrimination and perseverance, inspiration and success, power and impact….[This book] offers a vivid window onto our not-so-distant history through the stories of Black Americans who lived it.” —San Francisco Chronicle"Compelling"—ELLE Decor
