Written between 2012 and 2019 and first presented as a monthly feature on the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e's Lens blog, Berger's incisive essays help readers see a bigger picture about race through story-telling. 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 New York Times.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Maurice Berger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1597115622\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781597115629\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Aperture\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/17\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Maurice Berger","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46024933376255,"sku":"9781597115629","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2a81187c-efff-4cbf-8d0f-880d3da62958.jpg?v=1723129569","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/race-stories-maurice-berger-9781597115629","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
