{"product_id":"10134","title":"American Geography","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen Magnum photographer Matt Black began exploring his hometown in California’s rural Central Valley―dubbed “the other California,” where one-third of the population lives in poverty―he knew what his next project had to be. Black was inspired to create a vivid portrait of an unknown America, to photograph some of the poorest communities across the US. Traveling across forty-six states and Puerto Rico, Black visited designated “poverty areas,” places with a poverty rate above 20 percent, and found that poverty areas are so numerous that they’re never more than a two-hour’s drive apart, woven through the fabric of the country but cut off         from “the land of opportunity.” \u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eAmerican Geography\u003c\/span\u003e is a visual record of this five-year, 100,000-mile road trip, which chronicles the vulnerable conditions faced by America’s poor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis compelling compilation of black-and-white photographs is accompanied by Black’s own travelogue―a collection of observations, overheard conversations in cafe´s and public transportation, diner menus, bus timetables, historical facts, and snippets from daily news reports. A future classic of photography, this monograph is supported by an international touring exhibition and is a must-have for anyone with an interest in witnessing the reality of an America that’s been excluded from the American Dream.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Thames \u0026amp; Hudson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52209120313653,"sku":"9780500545355","price":29.0,"currency_code":"KWD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0965\/4157\/3429\/files\/31TKgSYfxBS._SX342_SY445.jpg?v=1768477459","url":"https:\/\/capbookshop.com\/ar\/products\/10134","provider":"CAP BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
