About this Item

The book has 88 plates many of which are colored. There is a description of each plate. There is a section with short biographies of a group she calls Frontier Photographers. This a really interesting Book. The dust jacket has very minor shelf wear. Probably not worth mentioning.

About this title

Synopsis

Portraits of people, ceremonies and villages in the American Southwest taken in the early part of the century are contrasted with current photographs of similar images. Early photographers thought that they were documenting a dying race and culture. Keegan demonstrates the vitality of Native American culture and shows how the same customs and ceremonies are being continued.
