Capturing spiritual and religious practices, changing rural landscapes, and intimate domestic life, this book features forty-nine black-and-white photographs taken between 1977 and 1984.
Other Americas, originally published in France in 1986 and designed by Lelia Wanick Salgado, is Sebastiao Salgados first book. Upon publication it became an award-winning photobook classic, establishing Salgados reputation as the visionary reportage photographer of his generation. With forty-nine black-and-white photographs taken between 1977 and 1984, Salgados distilled survey of a continent includes images from Brazil, Ecuador, Bolivia, Peru, Guatemala, and Mexico. The images range in subject, capturing spiritual and religious practices, changing rural landscapes, and intimate domestic life. Each photograph shares a sense of sincere connection between the subject and the photographer, between a population and their homeland, and between Salgado and the audience he seeks to engage. In his text, Alan Riding writes, Salgado has sought out a lost corner of the Americas and he has made it a prism through which the entire continent can be viewed. A philosophy of life is caught in a look; an entire way of life is frozen in a moment...
