Nicaragua in Pictures by Nathan A. Haverstock,John P. Hoover Pdf
Brief text and black and white photographs introduce the geography, history, government, people, and economy of the Central American country largest in area.
"Nicaragua has become an American obsession. Although its population is less than Oklahoma's, it drove the Reagan administration into such desperate acts as the covert mining of its harbors and the Iran-Contra fiasco. But through it all, the country and its people have remained an enigma to us. William Gentile's camera probes deep into Nicaragua and discovers a simple, innocent people trying to make a life amid the brutal, U.S. funded war. The images are startling. A dead soldier lies in a wooden box, in the background a mother breast-feeds her child; a baseball team in crisp white uniforms shoulders rifles instead of bats; a sad-eyed peasant woman kneads tortilla flour while behind her the forest smolders and a battle rages."--Page 4 of cover.

Carnival Strippers by Susan Meiselas,Deirdre English,Sylvia Wolf Pdf
From 1972 to 1975, Susan Meiselas spent her summers photographing and interviewing women who performed striptease for smalltown carnivals in New England, Pennsylvania and South Carolina. As she followed the girl shows from town to town, she portrayed the dancers on stage and off, photographing their public performances as well as their private lives. She also taped interviews with the dancers, their boyfriends, the show managers and paying customers. Meiselas' frank description of the lives of these women brought a hidden world to public attention. Produced during the early years of the women's movement, "Carnival Strippers" reflects the struggle for identity and self-esteem that characterized a complex era of change. This revised edition contains a new selection of Meiselas' black-and-white photographs together with the original interview excerpts. Additionally, an audio CD featuring a collage of participants' voices and a 1977 interview with the photographer are included. Essays by Sylvia Wolf and Deirdre English reflect on the importance of this body of work within the history of photography and the history of feminism.
