[Reference: Parr / Badger, "The Photobook", Vol. I, p.252; Roth, "The Book of 101 Books", pp. 178-179.] From a David Levi Straus exhibition review: "Although Levitt's work never fit the definitions of social documentary, anyone who claims these photographs are not political is operating with a severely limited sense of that term. There are times in these images when innocence comes into conflict with power, as kids are slapped or dressed down by imperious adults, caught in that politically constitutive moment when imagination collides with reality." A handsome copy of this first edition in hardcover with a dust jacket that presents very well. Inquiries welcome.
