An American Portrait

Foreword by Jon Meacham This Land An American Portrait

By Jack Spencer 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 traveled by Woody Guthrie and Jack Kerouac. Spencer’s pictorialist vision embraces the sweeping variety of American landscapes—coasts, deltas, forests, deserts, mountain ranges, and prai- ries—and iconic places such as Mount Rushmore and Wounded Knee. Jon Meacham writes in the foreword that Spencer’s “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 postscript by Mark L. Power

In the early 1970s, Nancy Rexroth began photographing the rural landscapes, children, white frame houses, and domestic interiors of southeastern Ohio with a plastic toy camera called the Diana. Working with the camera’s 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 photographs 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-

By khalik allah

This volume presents a gallery of raw and beautiful portraits created in Harlem by the acclaimed young photographer Khalik Allah, producer of the award-winning documentary Field Niggas and cinematogra- pherfor Beyoncé’s visual album Lemonade.

Khalik Allah is a New York–based photographer and filmmaker whose work has been described as “street opera,” simultaneously penetrative, hauntingly beautiful, and visceral. His photography 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 frequent 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.

Taking a bottom-up approach through interviews with industry workers, this book deepens our understanding of the intricate processes behind the creation of the LGBT representations that appear on television The New Gay for Pay The Sexual Politics of American Television Production

By julia himbErg

Television conveys powerful messages about sexual identities, and popular shows such as Will & Grace, Ellen, Glee, and Modern Family are often credited with building support for gay rights, including marriage equality. At the same time, however, many dismiss TV’s portrayal of LGBT characters and issues as “gay for pay”—that is, apolitical and exploitative programming created simply for profit. In The New Gay for Pay, Julia Himberg moves beyond both of these positions to investigate the complex and multifaceted ways that television production participates in constructing sexuality, sexual identities and communities, and sexual politics.

CARLOS KEVIN BLANTON, LUIS ALVAREZ,

AND LORRIN THOMAS, 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 States’s 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 nation’s 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, interdisciplinary 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 today 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 Historia USA.

Focusing on the practices, technologies, and materializations of Bingham’s three expeditions to Peru (1911, 1912, 1914–1915), this book makes a convincing case that visualization, particularly through the camera, played a decisive role in positioning Machu Picchu as both a scientific discovery and a Peruvian heritage site. Amy Cox Hall argues that while Bingham’s expeditions relied on the labor, knowledge, and support of Peruvian elites, intellectuals, and peasants, the practice of scientific witnessing, and photography specifically, converted Machu Picchu into a cultural artifact fashioned from a distinct way of seeing.

b y isabel m. cÓrdova

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 economic 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- isabel m. cÓrdova ners, and, ultimately reconfigured, after the 1980s, into a Rochester, New York technocratic model of childbirth, driven by doctors’ fears of malpractice suits and hospitals’ corporate concerns.

Marfa The Transformation of a West Texas Town

By kathleen shafer

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 town’s economy, even as they acknowledge that tourist dollars are now essential to Marfa’s sustainability. Marfa tells an engaging story of how this isolated place became a beacon in the art world, like the famous Marfa Lights that draw curious spectators into the West Texas night.
