Our Voices, Our Streets: American Protests 2001-2011 by Kevin Bubriski (English)

Description: Our Voices, Our Streets: American Protests 2001-2011 by Kevin Bubriski, Howard Zinn The crowds on the street at the 2001 inauguration made clear that America was at a difficult and defining moment following a contentious election that would unsettle the path of the countrys identity for years to come. Following the inauguration of 2001and the 9/11 tragedy, the American streets were the setting for memorials and vigils, parades and protests. These photographs chronicle events in New York, Washington, DC and Vermont. These events were large and sometimes small, and in both cases usually unnoticed by the mainstream media. These street portraits show a diversity of Americans- veterans, families of men and women on active duty, families of the victims of the 9/11 tragedy, parents of US service men and women killed in the Iraq War, security personnel, police, Muslim Americans, anti-war activists, disenfranchised minorities and anarchist youth. The common denominators that bring these images together are the lens of the Hasselblad camera and the public stage of the American streets.

Review Quote "In this powerful photography collection, Bubriski documents a decade of public protests. The bulk of photographs, focusing on individuals in crowds, were taken during the George W. Bush presidency, and showcase, among other events, antiwar protests around the country: at a 2002 peace march in Bennington, Vt., a young man whose face is painted with an American flag holds up a "Patriot for Peace" sign; at the fifth anniversary of the start of the Iraq War, Iraq Veterans Against the War march in front of the Capitol. Bubriski includes sobering images of grieving parents of soldiers killed in action (one mother standing on a New York City street holds a sign with an image of her son, captioned "Killed in Baghdad April 26, 2004"), as well as of 9/11 anniversary commemorations, with such images as a hearse with a photo of Osama bin Laden adhered to an open casket. Bubriski balances this volume with such images as a man at the same 9/11 memorial with a construction hat that reads "Drop the Bomb"; two men carrying copies of a Sean Hannity book at President Bushs 2005 inauguration; and of four people in D.C. waving flags with a sign that reads "If You Want Peace Prepare for War." Bubriskis photos movingly capture unrest in recent American history." -Publishers Weekly Promotional "Headline" The American street has always been the public place of political and cultural expression.
