Reviews "A stunning publication" The American‘a treasury of keen – if often painful – social observation’ "The presence of the photographers' voices throughout the book provides an interesting counterpoint to the essays, as well as invaluable clues to meanings found in the more challenging works. Their inclusion makes a good book even better." Black Issues Book Review | ||
