ISBN: 9781931885256.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1998 photographer Deborah Luster and poet C.D. Wright set out to produce a record of Louisianas prison population through image and text. One Big Self is a document to ward off forgetting, an opportunity for those inmates to present themselves as they would be seen, bringing what they own or borrow or use: work tools, objects of their making, messages of their choosing, their bodies, themselves. The photographer has been commissioned, in a sense, by the inmates to make portraits for their loved ones - trying to ensure a balance between photograph and subject, to connect the viewer, whether mother, child, friend, or stranger, to the prisoner. The view is inherently personal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Twin Palms Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45789424320565,"sku":"ByrdShop_1931885257","price":437.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781931885256_d402f8bf-3421-420a-8346-79e34af60912.jpg?v=1784754372","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/one-big-self-prisoners-of-louisiana-9781931885256","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
