Synopsis
This landmark book offers a synthesis of celebrated Magnum photographer Susan Meiselass views on her work and the role of the documentary photographer. Through text drawn largely from exclusive interviews with editor Mark Holborn, she offers a remarkable commentary on her career, from early work with carnival strippers, through groundbreaking reportage on Nicaragua and El Salvador, to projects encompassing subjects as varied as the Dani tribe of Indonesia, the Kurds of Northern Iraq and victims of domestic violence in California. Central to Meiselass work are themes of collaboration, return and exchange. With over 110 photographs some classics, others rarely published this book demonstrates how the frontline on which Meiselas has worked involves a bearing of witness and a gathering of evidence. As Meiselas has stated: To continue on is to be curious to be compelled to confront, to examine, to expose, to engage, and not know where you will end up or how the journey will change you. The frontline is always a choice.Table of ContentsIntroduction 1. The Exchange 2. El Pueblo 3. History 4. The Interior
