They have also eliminated some of the general history of photography and added more of the early history of photography in Mexico, as well as many new, previously unpublished images.The book is organized both chronologically and thematically, which allows viewer\/readers to follow the evolution of major photographic genres and styles. Debroise also examines the role of photography in the development of modern Mexico and the influence of prominent foreign photographers such as Edward Weston, Tina Modotti, and Henri Cartier-Bresson. In its totality, \u003ci\u003eMexican Suite\u003c\/i\u003e constitutes an extended essay on Mexican culture as a whole and on how this culture has been read, interpreted, and imagined.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Olivier Debroise\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0292716117\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780292716117\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Texas Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 300\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.04lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 12.32h x 9.33w x 1.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/12\/2001 pg. 75\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/15\/2001 pg. 82\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2001 pg. 301\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eUniv PR Books for Public Libry\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2002 pg. 64 - Recommended\/Special Interest\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/11\/2001","brand":"Olivier Debroise","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43995508015359,"sku":"9780292716117","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_19211c42-c0b1-4b76-916c-dc94688fec10.jpg?v=1683336214","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mexican-suite-olivier-debroise-9780292716117","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
