Posted on behalf of: Heather Skinner, Publicist University of Minnesota Press [log in to unmask] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The relationship between California farmworkers and the photographers who have documented their lives. EVERYONE HAD CAMERAS: Photography and Farmworkers in California, 1850-2000 Richard Steven Street University of Minnesota Press | 720 pages | 2008 ISBN 978-0-8166-4966-2 | hardcover | $105.00 ISBN 978-0-8166-4967-9 | paperback | $34.95 Everyone Had Cameras has been designated a National Endowment for the Humanities We the People project. American photographers have been fascinated by the lives of California farmworkers since the time of the daguerreotype. Deftly weaving the remarkable diversity of field photography into this story of labor activism, Everyone Had Cameras establishes a new history of California photography while chronicling the impact that this visual medium-called by some the common currency of modern dialogue-has had on a vast, dispossessed class of American workers. "Everyone Had Cameras is an awesome achievement in the annals of photographic history and the American West."-Mark Arax "A powerful book that simultaneously analyzes and celebrates the act of photographing in a way that anyone who has ever picked up a camera with serious intent can understand."-David H. Wells "If the photographs that Richard Street has chosen to illustrate Everyone Had Cameras are, as he writes in the preface, 'poems without words,' he provides the words that turn the labors of Dorothea Lange, Otto Hagel, Hansel Mieth, and their colleagues into an historical epic. This book does for contemporary citizens what Edward R. Murrow's 'Harvest of Shame' did fifty years ago."-Melvyn Dubofsky For more information, including the table of contents, visit the book's webpage: http://www.upress.umn.edu/Books/S/street_everyone.html Sign up to receive news on the latest releases from University of Minnesota Press: http://www.upress.umn.edu/eform.html -- Heather Skinner, Publicist University of Minnesota Press 111 3rd Ave S, Ste. 290 Minneapolis, MN 55401-2520 [log in to unmask] v * 612-627-1932 f * 612-627-1980 http://www.upress.umn.edu Sign up to receive news on the latest releases from University of Minnesota Press: http://www.upress.umn.edu/eform.html Follow University of Minnesota Press updates on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/UMinnPres __________________________________________________________________ Mail submissions to [log in to unmask] For information about joining ARLIS/NA see: http://www.arlisna.org/join.html Send administrative matters (file requests, subscription requests, etc) to [log in to unmask] ARLIS-L Archives and subscription maintenance: http://lsv.uky.edu/archives/arlis-l.html Questions may be addressed to list owner (Judy Dyki) at: [log in to unmask]
