{"product_id":"engaged-observers-documentary-photography-since-the-sixties-9781606060223","title":"Engaged Observers: Documentary Photography Since the Sixties","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the decades following World War II  an independently minded  critically engaged form of photojournalism began to flourish. It was not destined for the morning papers or exclusively for newsmagazines  and it did not attempt to be neutral. This kind of photojournalism was self-assigned. It declared its independence from the mainstream medias editorial control  and it was disseminated to the public through books  exhibitions  articles  and  more recently  the Web. Engaged Observers focuses on nine photographers who have participated in the development of this documentary approach. Surveyed are Leonard Freed (Black in White America)  Philip Jones Griffiths (Vietnam Inc.)  W. Eugene Smith (Minamata)  Susan Meiselas (Nicaragua: June 1978-July 1979)  Mary Ellen Mark (Streetwise)  Larry Towell (The Mennonites)  Sebastiao Salgado (Migrations)  Lauren Greenfield (Girl Culture)  and James Nachtwey (\"The Sacrifice\"). Each section opens with an introductory essay that sets the work in its evolving historical context.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45651928449077,"sku":"ByrdShop_1606060228","price":170.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781606060223.jpg?v=1781845719","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/engaged-observers-documentary-photography-since-the-sixties-9781606060223","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
