Synopsis:
Winner of the International Center for Photography's 1995 Award for Writing on Photography, Picturing Us brings together a diverse group of African American writers, scholars, and filmmakers in the first concerted effort to analyze and respond to the photographic images of blacks through history. The book's contributors―including bell hooks, E. Ethelbert Miller, Angela Davis, and others―examine the personal and public issues embedded in family portraits and news photographs, movie stills and mug shots.
