Book
Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. This book explores a once-popular picture story by Gordon Parks and the extraordinary chain of events it prompted. Published in Life magazine in June 1961 as "Poverty: Freedom's Fearful Foe," this empathetic photo-essay profiled the da Silva family, living in a hillside favela near a wealthy enclave of Rio de Janeiro. Focused primarily on the eldest son Flavio, an industrious twelve-year-old suffering from crippling asthma, Parks' story elicited more than 3,000 letters and $25,000 in donations from Life readers to help the family and the favela. In Brazil the story sparked controversy; one news magazine, O Cruzeiro, retaliated against Life, sending photographer Henri Ballot to document poverty in New York City. Undeterred, Life embarked on a multi-year "rescue" effort that involved moving Flavio to a Denver hospital, relocating the family to a new home and administering funds to support the favela. The story, as well as Parks' relationship to Flavio, continued to develop over many years. The details of this extraordinary history provide a fascinating example of US exceptionalism during the early 1960s and a revealing look inside the power and cultural force of the "Great American Magazine." Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Questo libro esplora una storia illustrata di Gordon Parks e la straordinaria catena di eventi che provocò. Pubblicata sulla rivista Life nel giugno 1961 con il titolo "Poverty: Freedom's Fearful Foe", questo empatico saggio fotografico tracciava il profilo della famiglia da Silva, che viveva in una favela in collina vicino a una ricca enclave di Rio de Janeiro. Concentrandosi principalmente sul figlio maggiore Flavio, un laborioso dodicenne che soffriva di asma paralizzante, la storia di Parks procurò più di 3.000 lettere e 25.000 dollari di donazioni da parte dei lettori di Life per aiutare la famiglia e la favela. In Brasile la storia scatenò una polemica; un giornale, O Cruzeiro, si vendicò di Life, inviando il fotografo Henri Ballot a documentare la povertà a New York. Imperterrita, Life intraprese un'opera di "salvataggio" che prevedeva il trasferimento di Flavio in un ospedale di Denver, il trasferimento della famiglia in una nuova casa e la gestione di fondi a sostegno della favela. La storia, così come il rapporto di Parks con Flavio, continuò a svilupparsi per molti anni. I dettagli di questa storia straordinaria forniscono un esempio affascinante dell'eccezionalismo degli Stati Uniti all'inizio degli anni Sessanta e uno sguardo rivelatore sul potere e la forza culturale del "Great American Magazine". Book.
