Written between 2012 and 2019 and first presented as a monthly feature on the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e Lens blog, Berger's incisive essays help readers see a bigger picture about race through storytelling. By directing attention to the most revealing aspects of images, Berger makes complex issues comprehensible, vivid, and engaging. The essays illuminate a range of images, issues, and events: the modern civil rights movement; African American-, Latinx-, Asian American-, and Native American photography; and pivotal moments in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries when race, photography, and visual culture intersected. They also examine the full spectrum of photographic imaging: from amateur to professional pictures, from snapshots to fine art, from mugshots to celebrated icons of photojournalism. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eRace Stories\u003c\/i\u003e collects together Berger's reader-friendly essays in their breadth and brilliance to encourage a broad range of readers to look at and think about photographs in order to better understand themselves and the diverse world around them. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCopublished by Aperture and the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 312\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.18 x 9.69 x 7.48 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 17, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45180871835692,"sku":"9781597115629","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/6260\/8940\/files\/gCT3CdKBCW9781597115629.webp?v=1767815718","url":"https:\/\/littleredgeneralstore.com\/products\/race-stories-essays-on-the-power-of-images-hardcover","provider":"Little Red General Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
