University of New Mexico Press 800.249.7737 • unmpress.com One Nation One Year a navajo photographer’s 365-day journey into a world of discovery, life and hope Photographs by Don James with text by Karyth Becenti 128 pages 213 illustrations; 14 x 10 ISBN 978-1-890689-99-5 ($24.99) (Trade paper) 2010 Best New Mexico Book, New Mexico Book Awards “One Nation, One Year” is a photographic journey that tran- scends borders, languages, distance, time, and cultural barriers. For one year, Navajo photographer Don James drove from one side of the Navajo Nation to the other documenting arts, tradi- tions, sports, and people. He travelled by dirt road, horseback, on foot—even as a hitchhiker— for more than 10,000 miles and took over 105,000 photographs. The Navajo Nation and its people have been extensively photographed over the last centu- ry, but never from the eye of one of its own. Because he’s native, and knows the land and people, James embarks on a journey to show the world a different view of his culture, through his eyes and his Nikon lens. His understanding of the Navajo gives us a glimpse at a people previously off-limits to outsiders. Edited by Navajo writer Karyth Becenti, the narrative that accompanies the images are succinct and enlightening, offering the viewer the chance to at once see the Navajo people and feel a small piece of their lives.
