New/Slightly shopworn, with remainder mark on flyleaf. OVERSIZE! No priority/air, except by special arrangement. On spine: Contemporary photographers and black identity. "Different is about identity. It is a story, told in pictures and words, of contemporary Black and Asian artists exploring questions of their own identities in photography. A historical introduction examines the way photographers have approached issues of their 'difference' since the beginning of the photographic medium. The images are selected by Stuart Hall and Mark Sealy, and Stuart Hall introduces the artists and explains the themes and issues. Mark Sealy is a producer and curator of photography and has been Director of Autograph (Association of Black Photographers) since 1991. Stuart Hall, Emeritus Professor of Sociology at Britain's Open University, is internationally regarded for his teachings on culture and society. He has lectured and published extensively worldwide, and is Chairman of both INIVA (Institute of International Visual Arts) and Autograph. With over 180 images Different is a visual feast, but with text by one of the world's leading social and cultural commentators, it is more than that: it is a unique, important and exciting look at contemporary photography and racial identity." - Publisher. Very Good.
