Foreword by Jon Meacham
This Land
An American Portrait
B y J a c k Sp e n c e r
Foreword by Jon Meacham
Created across twelve years, forty-seven states,

and seventy thousand miles, this startlingly
fresh photographic portrait of the American
landscape shares artistic affinities with the
works of such American masters as Edward
Hopper, Grant Wood, Mark Rothko, and
Albert Bierstadt
Jarred by the 9/11 attacks, photographer Jack Spen-
cer set out in 2003 in hopes of making a few sketches of America in order to gain some clarity
on what it meant to be living in this nation at this moment in time. Across twelve years, forty-
seven states, and seventy thousand miles of driving, Spencer created a vast, encompassing
portrait of the American landscape that is both contemporary and timeless.
This Land presents some one hundred and forty photographs that span the nation, from
Key West to Death Valley and Texas to Montana. From the monochromatic and distressed
black-and-white images that began the series to the oversaturated color of more recent years,
these photographs present a startlingly fresh perspective on America. The breadth of imagery
in This Land brings to mind the works of such American masters as Edward Hopper, Grant
Wood, Mark Rothko, and Albert Bierstadt, while also evoking the sense of the open roads trav-
eled by Woody Guthrie and Jack Kerouac. Spencers pictorialist vision embraces the sweeping
variety of American landscapescoasts, deltas, forests, deserts, mountain ranges, and prai-
riesand iconic places such as Mount Rushmore and Wounded Knee. Jon Meacham writes
in the foreword that Spencers most surprising images are of a country that I suspect many
of us believed had disappeared. The fading churches, the roaming bison, the running horses:
Spencer has found a mythical world, except it is real, and it is now, and it is ours.

IOWA
By Nancy Rexroth
Foreword by Alec Soth
Essay by Anne Wilkes Tucker
Essay and postscr ipt by Mark L . Power
In the early 1970s, Nancy Rexroth began photograph-

ing the rural landscapes, children, white frame houses, and do-
mestic interiors of southeastern Ohio with a plastic toy camera
called the Diana. Working with the cameras properties of soft
focus and vignetting, and further manipulating the photographs
by deliberately blurring or sometimes overlaying them, Rexroth
created dreamlike, poetic images of my
own private landscape, a state of mind. She
called this state IOWA because the photo-
graphs seemed to reference her childhood
summer visits to relatives in Iowa. Rexroth
self-published her evocative images in 1977
in the book IOWA, and the photographic
community responded immediately and
strongly to the work. Aperture published a
portfolio of IOWA images in a special issue,
The Snapshot, alongside the work of Robert
Frank, Garry Winogrand, Lee Friedlander,
and Emmet Gowin. The International Cen-
ter for Photography, the Corcoran Gallery
of Art, and the Smithsonian Institution in-
Theater, Vanceburg, Kentucky (1975) cluded IOWA images in group exhibitions.
Forty years after its original publication, IOWA has become
a classic of fine art photography, a renowned demonstration of
Rexroths ability to fashion a world of surprising aesthetic possi-

Souls Against
the Concrete
By khalik allah
This volume presents a gallery

of raw and beautiful portraits
created in Harlem by the ac-
claimed young photographer
Khalik Allah, producer of the
award-winning documentary
Field Niggas and cinematogra-
pherfor Beyoncs visual album
Lemonade.
Khalik Allah is a New Yorkbased

photographer and filmmaker whose work
has been described as street opera, si-
multaneously penetrative, hauntingly
beautiful, and visceral. His photogra-
phy has been acclaimed by the New York
Times, TIME Light Box, the New Yorker,
the Guardian, the Village Voice, the BBC,
and the Boston Globe. Since 2012, Allah
has been photographing people who fre-
quent the corner of 125th Street and Lexington Avenue in Harlem. Shooting film at night with
only the light pouring from storefront windows, street lights, cars, and flashing ambulances,
he captures raw and intimate portraits of souls against the concrete.
This volume presents a gallery of 120 portraits created with a Nikon F2 35mm camera and
a photography predicated on reality. Inviting viewers to look deeply into the faces of people
living amid poverty, drug addiction, police brutality, and everyday life, Allah seeks to dispel
fears, capture human dignity, and bring clarity to a world that outsiders rarely visit. This nu-
anced portrayal of nocturnal urban life offers a powerful and rare glimpse into the enduring
spirit of a slowly gentrifying Harlem street corner and the great legacies of black history that
live there.

Cormac McCarthy told an interviewer for the New

but he has been famously unwilling to discuss how his own
writing draws on the works of other writers. Yet his novels
and plays masterfully appropriate and allude to an extensive
range of literary works, demonstrating that McCarthy is well

Kuxlejal Politics
Indigenous Autonomy, Race, and Decolonizing
Research in Zapatista Communities
By mariana mora
This work of activist anthropology investigates the decolonizing

cultural practices that the Zapatistas of Chiapas employed to re-
sist the racialized policies of the Mexican neoliberal state and as-
sert their autonomy Over the past two decades, Zapatista indigenous
community members have asserted their autonomy and
self-determination by using everyday practices as part of
their struggle for lekil kuxlejal, a dignified
collective life connected to a specific territory.
This in-depth ethnography summarizes Mari-
ana Moras more than ten years of extended
research and solidarity work in Chiapas, with
Tseltal and Tojolabal community members
helping to design and evaluate her fieldwork.
The result of that collaborationa work of
activist anthropologyreveals how Zapatista kuxlejal (or
life) politics unsettle key racialized effects of the Mexican
neoliberal state. Through detailed narratives, thick descrip-

Television conveys powerful messages about sexu-

The Rhetoric of Seeing in Attic

Forensic Oratory
By Pe t er A. OConnell
In ancient Athenian courts of law, litigants pre-

sented their cases before juries of several hundred citizens.
Their speeches effectively constituted performances that used
the speakers appearances, gestures, tones of voice, and emo-
tional appeals as much as their words to persuade the jury.
Today, all that remains of Attic forensic speeches from the

The Mobility of Modernism

Art and Criticism in 1920s Latin America
By Harper Montgomery
Many Latin American artists and critics in the

1920s drew on the values of modernism to question the cul-
tural authority of Europe. Modernism gave them a tool for
coping with the mobility of their circumstances, as well as
the inspiration for works that questioned the very concepts
of the artist and the artwork and opened the realm of art
to untrained and self-taught artists, artisans, and women.

Announcing a New Series
Historia USA
CARLOS KEVIN B LANTON , L U IS ALVARE Z ,
AND LORRIN THO M AS , SERIES EDITORS
Changing demographics and a growing awareness of the

interconnectedness of the peoples of the Americas across several
centu-ries have made Latinas/os central to the future of the Unit-
ed Statess polity, society, and its many cultures. No longer can
Chicana/o history be separated from Puerto Rican history or Cuban
history. Latina/o history is not an exception to the American story.
It is not a footnote. It is the nations history. This is what Historia
USA means.This new series advances the interpretive and meth-
odological in-novations that are generating vibrant new historical
narratives about Latina/o communities in the United States. Histo-
ria USA prioritizes histories constructed within broad, interdisci-
plinary frameworks rather than discrete studies focused on a single
group or discipline. The series also values historical narratives that
account for the hemispheric and transnational dimensions of the
US Latina/o experience. The most important new scholarship to-
day maps the experience of Latina/o groups around the nation and
traces their complicated histories far beyond standard and separate
narratives. This is where the scholarship is already going. This is

materializations of Binghams three expeditions to Peru (1911,
1912, 19141915), this book makes a convincing
case that visualization, particularly through
the camera, played a decisive role in position-
ing Machu Picchu as both a scientific discovery
and a Peruvian heritage site.
Amy Cox Hall argues that while Binghams
expeditions relied on the labor, knowledge,
and support of Peruvian elites, intellectuals,
and peasants, the practice of scientific witnessing, and pho-

artifact fashioned from a distinct way of seeing. Drawing on

Modernizing Puerto Rico and the
Medicalization of Child Birth
by isa bel m. c rd ova
This history of evolving birthing practices in Puerto Rico

reveals how dramatic transformations in childbirth resulted
from broader economic, political, and cultural shifts toward
a model of industrial nationhood
As Puerto Rico rapidly industrialized from the

late 1940s until the 1970s, the social, political, and eco-
nomic landscape changed profoundly. In the realm of heath
care, the development of medical education, new medical
technologies, and a new faith in science radically redefined
childbirth and its practice. What had traditionally been a
home-based, family-oriented process, assisted by women
and midwives and accomplished by mothers, became a
medicalized, hospital-based procedure, accomplished
and directed by biomedical, predominantly male, practitio-

Marfa, Texas, has become a landmark arts

mense Chihuahuan desert.
Marfa
The Transformation of a West Texas Town
By k at hleen shaf er
A small town in the vast desert of West Texas,

Marfa attracts visitors from around the world to its art
foundations and galleries, film and music festivals, and
design and architecture symposiums. While newcomers
sometimes see it as another Santa Fe, long-time residents
often take a bemused, even disapproving attitude toward
the changes that Marfa has undergone since artist Donald
Judd came to town in the 1970s and began creating spaces
for his own and other artists work. They remember when
ranching and the military formed the basis of the towns
economy, even as they acknowledge that tourist dollars are
now essential to Marfas sustainability.
Marfa tells an engaging story of how this isolated place be-
came a beacon in the art world, like the famous Marfa Lights
that draw curious spectators into the West Texas night. As
Kathleen Shafer delves into the towns early history, the im-
pact of Donald Judd, the expansion of arts programming, and
