Description

Snapshots of a Century in African American Lives heralds the artistry and historical importance of amateur snapshots taken during the twentieth century. Noted scholar Professor Emeritus Edmund W. Gordon wrote (Foreword): "This is also a book about the universal celebration of the beauty and dignity of the human condition as it is and can be captured by amateur camera persons. . ." A book that captures visual history and visual culture is an ambitious project. Snapshots of a Century in African American Lives contains more than 100 images never before in publication. Images were culled from a private collection. Photojournalism professor D. Michael Cheers wrote (Introduction): "These creative expressions, which showcase posed, candid and ordinary, yet unique, images, hand us a lens that drops in on strangers and allows all of us to reconnect with 'our African heritage.'" Photography curator Carol McCusker described their impact in the Afterword: "Through their details, we are moved back in time or to somewhere in ourselves. They engage us in history in ways other media does not. In this capacity, Snapshots of a Century in African-American Lives makes us aware of what we know, what we think we know, and what we collectively aspire toward or want to forget, and, throughout, is undeniably American in our optimism." Educators, historical societies, and museums will identify the important relevance of this book and the collection represented. This 120 page book is available in 8.5 x 11 soft cover format. A limited edition of 100 copies (11 x 11 hard cover) will be available through the editor.
