Paperback. Condition: Used-Very Good. Reprint. The Greatest Generation meets Bloods in this revealing oral history of the unrecognized contributions of African American veterans. Award-winning journalist Yvonne Latty never bothered to find out the extent of her father's service until it was almost too late. Inspired by his moving story -- and eager to uncover the little-known stories of other black veterans, from those who served in the Second World War to the War in Iraq -- Latty set about interviewing veterans of every stripe: men and women; army, navy, and air force personnel; prisoners of war; and brigadier generals. In a book that has sparked discussions in homes, schools, and churches across America, Latty, along with acclaimed photographer Ron Tarver, captures not only what was unique about the experiences of more than two dozen veterans but also why it is important for these stories to be recorded. Whether it's the story of a black medic on Omaha Beach or a nurse who ferried wounded soldiers by heli-copter to medical centers throughout Asia during the Vietnam War, We Were There is a must-have for every black home, military enthusiast, and American patriot. .…

Hardback. Condition: Fair. The first book to tell the story of the Black cowboy in contemporary America through photographs by Pulitzer Prize winning photographer Ron Tarver.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. The Long Ride Home: Black Cowboys in America is the first book to tell the story of the Black cowboy experience in contemporary America. Although Black cowboys have been a fixture on the American landscape and frontier since the nineteenth century, few people are aware of their enduring contributions to Western U.S. history and how their unique culture continues to thrive today in urban as well as rural areas all over the country. The book features Ron Tarver's beautiful, compelling, and often surprising contemporary images of African-American cowboy that not only convey the Black cowboy's way of life and its rich heritage, but also affirm a thriving culture of Black-owned ranches and rodeo operations, parades, inner-city cowboys, retired cowhands, and Black cowgirls of all ages, too. Tarver, who comes from a family of Black cowboys in Oklahoma, uses his artistry to question, if not upend, long-held notions of what it means to be a cowboy and, with that, what it means to be an American. The Long Ride Home couldn't be more timely, coming on the heels of films such as Lil Nas X's hit time-travel western, Old Town Road (2019), and Idris Elba's Concrete Cowboy (2021), which was based on Greg Neri's 2013 book, Ghetto Cowboy, about Philadelphia's contemporary African-American cowboy culture Tarver made images of in some of the same Philadelphia neighborhoods. Widespread interest in the Black experience in America sparked by the Black Lives Matter movement will also make this book an especially important contribution to Black history. In addition to Tarver's 110 photographs, The Long Ride Home includes an essay by Art T. Burton, an expert on the history of Black cowboys, and a conversation between Tarver and curator and longtime photo editor Elizabeth Krist. This book is both a tribute to and celebration of the Black cowboy in America. It is certain to be an invaluable addition to American history for years to come. AUTHOR: Ron Tarver comes from a family of African American cowboys. He grew up in Ft. Gibson, a small agricultural community in rural northeastern Oklahoma. His grandfather was a working cowboy during the 1940s, and Tarver spent many long, hot summer days hauling hay and working on local farms. The recipient of a 2021 John Simon Guggenheim Fellowship, in Photography Tarver has distinguished himself in the field of fine-art photography. He has been awarded grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, and two Independence Foundation Fellowships. As a long-time staff photographer for the Philadelphia Inquirer, he shared the 2012 Pulitzer Prize for his work on a series documenting school violence in the Philadelphia public school system, was nominated for three additional Pulitzers, and honored with awards from World Press Photos and the Sigma Delta Chi Award of the Society of Professional Journalists. Tarver is currently Associate Professor of Art at Swarthmore College. He is co-author, with journalist Yvonne Latty, of We Were There: Voices of African American Veteran from World War II to the War in Iraq (Harper Collins, 2004), which was accompanied by a traveling exhibition that debuted at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia. 110 colour and b/w photographs The first book to tell the story of the Black cowboy in contemporary America through photographs by Pulitzer Prize winning photographer Ron Tarver.
